![WTF?! Reality Show Alert: Strip Club Queens of Atlanta… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/strip-club-queens-promo-1-520x523.jpg)
This social networking this is way outta control. First a MARTA bus driver gets suspended after a passenger twitpics him using his cell and now a teacher has been forced to resign over Facebook photos! Ashley Payne, a former Georgia high school teacher is smack dab in the middle of the most recent social networking controversy. Payne was forced to resign, after school administrators questioned the material posted on her Facebook page. Payne says she had pictures of her trip to Europe on the site and wrote about a game she plays with friends. She says none of the material was inappropriate, but a parent complained about a picture of her holding a drink in her hand.
I had no idea how a parent could have seen something like that on my page cause I had everything set to private. I wasn’t friends with any students. I didn’t give any access to students or parents.
The photo below is one of the pics that got Payne fired. She was holding a glass of Guinness Beer after visiting a brewery in Dublin:
I visited the Guinness Brewery, I went to Italy and had wine. I went to the Temple Bar District of Dublin and drank some alcohol there like any normal adult would. They’re not even of me drinking the drinks and I don’t look like I’m intoxicated in any way or doing anything provocative or inappropriate,” Payne said.
Payne is now suing claiming that the Barrow County school district violated state labor law because she was never told she was entitled to a hearing. Her attorney, Richard Storrs, says the 24-year-old former Apalachee High School teacher was “not made aware of her rights” and should be granted the hearing. Barrow County school Superintendent Ron Saunders declined comment on the lawsuit because it is a personnel issue.
Payne resigned Aug. 27 after her principal questioned her about her Facebook page, which included photos of her holding wine and beer and an expletive. She had worked at the school for two years.

All I have to say is be more careful about who you approve AND make sure your photo priviledges are set to “friends only” and not friends of friends or network. There’s really no such thing as privacy on the web so you’re screwed either way. I honestly think they were just searching for a reason to get rid of her and the picture was an easy excuse. Such is life…

I know that between my blog posts and youtube videos, I won’t be going back to the plantation after my disability is over and my lawsuit is settled. White folks ain’t gonna want my azz back on the plantation.
thats real crazy i can understand a driver txtn and takin pics needs to be fired but a teacher on vacation…..!? not like she had a bong and was half nude!
I am a teacher and education is soooo political. After I saw this on the news last night, everything on my FB page is restricted and only my true friends and relatives can see my statuses and pics. I have always had lists for lurkers wanting to be nosey, such as nosey people, former students. I never accept friend request from current students…smh, a shame!
OH HELL NAW’LL. YOU GONE FIRE ME WHILE IM ON VACATION. WELL GIRLFRIEND I KNOW HOW SHE FEELS. I WAS FIRED ON MY DAY OFF. A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. I WOULD FIND THE PARENT AND BITCH SLAP HER ASS. SHE PROBABLY A DRUNK AND JEALOUS SHE CANT TAKE A VACATION FROM HER KIDS…
I was fired while I was on disability and for being Black. Blank stare.
[...] Oh…and let’s not forget lil miss ‘I had a beer on vacation and got fired after I posted pics on my FaceBook page“. Granted, each case is completely different, but the underlying cause is the same…. [...]
Let this be a lesson to any new teachers. Georgia has no respect for you as a teacher or as a person. They believe they own you. Take your professional license somewhere that will respect you and treat you as the professional you are.
