Okay, this strikes me as an interesting issue.
An underage student posts a picture of herself in a bikini on Facebook, with visibility limited to "friends of friends."
The director of technology at her high school, apparently a "friend of friend" finds the photo and uses it as an illustration in a "well-attended district-wide seminar focused on the long-term dangers of social media."
The issue is muddied by the fact that the picture is of a bikini-clad minor, which would earn a trip to the hoosegow in some cases.
So the student's suing the school district, that is to say, the taxpayers, for the sins of the tech director... assuming they really were sins.
I'm so confused. What's your take?
(PS. No Democrats were poked fun at, insulted, or otherwise harmed in the making of this thread.)
(PSS. Except in the above postscript, of course.)

Apparently, the tech director had access to the photo, but not specific permission to share it with the whole school district.In the seminar, which allegedly occurred when Chaney was a student at the school and a minor, the caption of Chaney’s bikini-clad photo was allegedly: “Once it’s there, it’s there to stay.”
“I was embarrassed. I was horrified,” Chaney told a WSB-TV reporter. “It never crossed my mind that it would ever — that this would ever happen to me.”
The school official allegedly failed to obtain — or, apparently, even try to obtain — Chaney’s or her parents’ permission.
