But you know how high school students are- they are a bunch of sheep, and most have no backbone.  Getting kicked off the high school cheerleading team is OMGSOHORRIBLE , you know. It would have been the end of the world if she couldn't shake some pom poms around at the football games.<br><br>She caved. She didn't stay strong, she allowed herself to be bullied, and it's her fault that this came out since she gave the information.<br><br>Have a freakin backbone, cheerleader.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mandie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 9:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[Kids must respect their teachers and the teachers have to respect the fact that kids are humans who need a little privacy as well. When teachers over step their bounds then no one wins. Same as with children, the ones that think well no one can tell me what to do just need a good AZZ whippin, from the parents of course.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[maximum joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 9:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with incubus (srry if i spelt it wrong) there are some teachers that need to get off there freaking pedestal and back off. It's none of there buisness what goes on outside of there class. It shouldnt matter if a student is bisexual (I was harrased about that and forced to go to consoling), Atheist, what they do on the internet, or even what happens outside of school. Nosey annoying teachers should just stick to there stupid under paid life and realize that they have NO power and to get over there powertrip. Only teachers who are close to there students (i.e my art teacher who says im like a daughter to him and wishes I'd be more carefull online) should be courious about there students, BUT NOT TO THAT EXTENT.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[VampireLarin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 12:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[neither would I, but we aren't high school kids who think they have to do what a teacher/coach/administrator asks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[momdever]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 6:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[well, for one thing, I would have went straight home and changed my password.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chfltops]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 1:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[this was a blatant abuse of power and invasion of privacy.  if she had discussed this publicly i would say yes she deserved what she got but it wasnt.  she should have refused to give her info and told her parents.  the coach intimidated her into giving up her info.  i hope she gets a lot of money out of the district for this. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scoobe2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2009 1:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a 15 year old.

Kids feel powerless against adults, (excpetion: troublemakers who don't give a crap what adult do, think or say).  She probably didn't realize, at the time she was confronted, that she COULD say no.  It's easy for an adult to say "have a backbone" when you're speaking of your own peers (other adults).  Not so easy for a kid.  Kids SHOULD have a healthy "fear" of adults and, unfortunately, this idiotic teacher took advantage of it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nancy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2009 1:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[I foresee a big windfall for this little girl ...even if (and the article doesn;t say) a school comouter was used, a facebook account is only public domain to the extent allowed by the account holder; i.e., if she had controls in place which would prohibit outsiders from viewing her private e-mails without her password, then I would be schocked if any jurist or jury would not consider the actions of the school to be unlawful intimidation, not unlike a mugger sticking a gun in the face of an atm client.The district is screwed and the teacher involved should probably resign now. Why can't these jugheads just concentrate on giving the kids a good education?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David Hale]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2009 1:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[Absolutely.  Were I asked to provide personal information of this nature I'd tell them to go f*** themselves.  If they continued to push, I'd turn them in to the authorities.  Now, having said that:  anyone who puts ANYTHING on the web, no matter HOW "secure" it is, with the expectation that it will not at some point become public information, is a perfect fool.  Since this cheerleader "gave" them her password rather than reporting the request, she abetted whatever "harm" then came to her, and she deserves what she got.  (P.S.-- How did they even know she HAD a facebook account unless she flapped her lips about it???)<br><br>Sorry, Mandi, but YOU SCREWED UP.  The time to sue was BEFORE you gave them privileged information.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NYCBruce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2009 8:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah for real... i'd have given her the login/pw, then got right on a computer and changed it... but, since i graduated 10 years ago, i hear from kids that school computers block pages such as myspace, facebook, twitter, and obviously, porn sites.. but, like another poster said... the teacher/coach might have threatened the girls spot on the cheerleading squad.. when i was a young, naive high schooler who thought she was smart about stuff like that, i'd have caved also.. i loved cheering. obviously the teacher/coach thought there was evidence to support her asking the girl for her password.. or she would have asked every girl on the squad for theirs..    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jess]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2009 8:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheerleader Sues Over Facebook Privacy Invasion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/07/29/cheerleader-sues-over-facebook-privacy-invasion/</guid><description><![CDATA[As much as I hate to say it, and not having read the source article (its late, I'm tired), she might well have a case.  If the coach or teacher or authority figure ordered her to turn over her account information under duress, there's a problem.  Now of course she could and should have refused and gone to the school's pricipal or even department head and complained, but whatever, sue-happy people I guess...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WinterTiger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 29th 2009 10:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
