Reply #195: I don't think it's even been established that the teacher WASN'T acting in private...

[JHB]

1) She registered on a nontheist forum and made a post there (about as easy to do as for trolls to post on DU);
2) Her Facebook page was only open to 'friended' persons, not to everyone, not to students.
3) From the deception of the "evidence" against her, she didn't say anything outright about being an atheist on her Facebook page. It was a question on a Facebook poll/survey/whatever.

Somebody would have had to do some digging to find out these things, and there wasn't the slightest suggestion that she "proselytized" in class.

The only "not private" thing she seems to have done is believe Facebook's privacy settings were worth a damn.
