I'm not saying that the teacher posting the picture is okay, because I do feel there should be a certain line of respect between teenagers and any adult, including their teachers. But I don't think the picture itself is that out of line for a high school student to see, if that makes sense.
Oh I don't give a shit about the picture per se. I'm a bad parent that way. It's more that this person clearly doesn't have a clue re appropriateness. This group is held to a high level of responsibility. They are supposed to exhibit exemplarary behaviour at all times, even when not representing the school or at school. If they had posted this link, there would have been trouble.
