Two girls are suing their high school in Indiana over punishment they received for posting suggestive photos of themselves on MySpace during summer vacation.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the suit claiming the school violated the girls' free-speech rights. Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of Liberty University's law school, says the ACLU has gotten it wrong. He contends that if the school sets certain standards for behavior, they can enforce them. As a result of this stance, the students might pay a price in more than one way. "Students must understand [that] whenever they post these things on MySpace or Facebook, they will [face] consequences," Staver explains. "Sometimes they may not get admitted to the college of their choice because these things are following them around. In fact, some bar associations right now are reviewing Facebook postings to determine character and fitness for people to practice law once they graduate from law school." The attorney insists the Indianapolis school just wants to do the right thing, while the ACLU is working to promote a very radical, anti-family, sexually provocative and promiscuous lifestyle.
