Well, had only her and her friends seen it, she wouldn’t have the issue..... alas, she posted it on the internet where any schmuck can see it....
I don’t agree with the school, but you wish to mold young minds, posting pics of yourself doing adult behaviors probably not the greatest career move.
I would not have ANY problem at all with any of my kid’s teachers dressing up as a drunken pirate for a school halloween function, or posting a picture dressed that way on the internet or on their own bulletin board.
So I obviously don’t think that the picture being on MySpace in public should be of any concern to getting her degree.
BTW, Drunken Pirate maybe be redundant. Is there really any other kind?
