Grade school teacher’s aide fired for refusing to hand over Facebook password

38. And you truly believe that her friends and family should lose their privacy,

without being asked, without any right to appeal, because of her actions? If there was a valid warrant because of a police investigation, it would be one thing, but that's not what this is.

They knew about the picture, so if they want to fire her they can fire her. If they wanted to see the picture, to judge for themselves, they could have asked her to show it to them. They could have asked her to sign into her account for them and show them just the material in question. But they wanted her password, giving them the ability to browse at leisure, and even impersonate her if they so chose (I don't think they would, but they could).

What if other teachers at the school were FB friends with her? What if one of them in the recent past had posted a less than flattering remark about the school administration,trusting that her friend wouldn't talk about it? What if she had discussed some embarrassing secret about a family member in a discussion limited to family only? Anyone with her password could access that.

I'd hate to live in your world.
