All I Can Say Is: OMG

This story is from Monday's Washington Post, but I just now came across it and, as per my headline, all I can say is OMG.

It's about young teachers with provocative Facebook pages and the related implications. As reporter Ian Shapira writes, "In states including Florida, Colorado, Tennessee and Massachusetts, teachers have been removed or suspended for MySpace postings, and some teachers unions have begun warning members about racy personal Web sites. But as Facebook, with 70 million members, and other social networking sites continue to grow, scrutiny will no doubt spread locally."

It's intriguing and not a little cringe-inducing. Enjoy.
