Fired Over Facebook: 13 Posts That Got People CANNED

Which court standard did someone follow or break in your article?
Most of it was freedom of speech. People got fired for writing things on their facebook that their employers said was inappropriate, but I'm sure the people thought they shouldn't be able to be fired for it because it's their private lives.

Do you agree with the decisions in your article?
I agree with most of them. Some of the things people said made the company they worked for look bad and probably embarrassed them.

What do you feel should have been done in this instance?
I think that most of them should've gotten fired for it. One teacher got fired just for having pictures drinking wine and beer. I think that's stupid because those are both legal and as long as she wasn't completely wasted or taking pictures doing stupid stuff then I don't think she should've gotten fired for it.

What do you feel will be the future of rights in today's digital age?
I think that people will always be able to say what they want on the internet but people will still get in trouble with their jobs and school if they put bad things on the internet.

What rights do you have inside of school?
Most of your rights are taking. You still have the right of religion, but speech, assembly, petition and press i guess are taken away.

What rights do you have outside of school?
You still don't really have freedom of speech because you can get in trouble for what you say on facebook, but you have freedom of religion, assembly, press and the right to petition.
