Woman denied degree because of MySpace photo

Okay, this is just going to far. It seems that a woman was actually denied her teaching certification and bachelor’s degree in education because of a photo she posted on her MySpace page. The picture showed her wearing a pirate hat and drinking out of a yellow plastic cup. The caption said, “Drunken Pirate.” The university decided that the picture was meant to encourage underage drinking, in spite of the fact that the woman is 25 years old – well past the legal drinking age. The university gave her a different degree, but because they refused to give her a teaching certification, she hasn’t been able to get a teaching job. She’s suing the university and I say, more power to her!
