Kids These Days....

So, this one is particularly short, but oh my...

Parents of a 14 year-old, high school freshman want to sue her school for discrimination and invasion of privacy because the young girl sent her boyfriend a top less photo via her cell phone and it got spread around the school.

She has been suspended for 5 days as were students who were caught with the picture on their cell phones.

I don't really think the parents have a good case, although the girl probably didn't think her boyfriend would pass the picture along. I'm thinking that the photo was a big class disturbance and the school had a right to step in.

I think the girl should take it as a lesson learned. But, that's just my opinion.

GRAND BLANC, Mich. — A 14-year-old Flint-area high school freshman and others have been suspended after a topless photo of the girl circulated through the school.
The teen took the photo, sent it to her boyfriend and now is in the middle of a five-day suspension from Grand Blanc High School.
Seven students were suspended this week for having the photo on their cell phones.
Her parents are considering a lawsuit against the school district for sex discrimination and invasion of privacy.
Principal Jennifer Hammond denies treating anyone differently on the basis of gender.
