"Drunken Pirate" Denied Teaching Certificate

[orichalcum]

A 27-year-old woman has been denied a teaching certificate from the Millerville University of PA, after passing all her courses, because the program administrators found her MySpace page in which she posted a photo of herself, fully clothed, wearing a pirate hat and drinking from a "Mr. Goodbar" plastic cup. According to them, she failed in "professionalism" for promoting underage drinking, despite being 25 herself at the time of the photo.

She's suing. I hope she gets a whole chest full of doubloons from them. And once again, be careful what you put up on the Net, I guess...

Yep. Professional is how you behave _on the job_, not whether or not you happen to drink beer at a Halloween party.
