I’m not sure how they could deny the degree if she’s completed the course. The certificate _shouldn’t_ be denied, assuming she passes the Praxis, or whatever tests they use. I can, however, see schools turning down her app, based on her actions. That happens here, too. Most teaching contracts do have morals clauses. (They’re hideously outdated, but they have 'em.) And _this_ is why we don’t put shit on the web we don’t want anyone seeing. ---

id hate to be under that kind of microscope. there is personal life and business. usually you try to keep them seperate. and this is before she even became a teacher. shes a grown ass adult she hasn’t done anything illegal. i hate how close minded people are these days.

Thats stupid. For a couple reasons. 1. Don’t put shit on the internet you don’t need people seeing. 2. Don’t use myspace- because its gay 3. She made her own decision- you can’t penelize her for not doing anything illegal 4. Don’t use myspace- because its still gay as hell. Make friends in real life. ---

the irony here is that anyone can go on youtube and see tons of videos of our president drunk off his ass. So I guess you can drink and be leader of the free world but you can’t teach english. ---

That’s fucking weak. At first, I was thinking she had pictures of her nude on myspace or something. But a fucking Halloween photo?!?!?!?!? Maybe whoever denied her degree is a pirate and was offended. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pa-woman-denyed-teaching-degree-for-myspace-photo/189631.md?page=2)
