Here’s the whole story…

Here’s my favorite excerpt:

Ridiculousness and inappropriateness are often the very foundation of humor,” Judge Philip Simon of Indiana wrote. ” The provocative context of these young girls horsing around with objects representing sex organs was intended to contribute to the humorous effect in the minds of the intended teenage audience.

But he strongly disagreed with the school’s assertion that the photographs qualified as “sexual misconduct” under Indiana law, since there was no actual nudity. 

The judge made the point that the girls posted the photos on Facebook for their friends to see – not to display to the entire school. 

“Not much good takes place at slumber parties for high school kids, and this case proves the point,” he said.

I think this is a win for free speech and though I’d be horrified if my daughter was involved, I’d hope she wouldn’t be thrown out of school or off her sports team for this. Rather, it’s a great teaching moment: Don’t put raunchy photos of yourself on the internet. Period.

What do you think?
