not if you have your profile set to private so only people you friend can see your page.

Then the principals are unable to monitor it and have broken no laws.

In that case, the principal can't monitor it, so he's still not invading privacy.

Now, if you accept the principal as a "friend," then you are again without excuse.

Facebook provides the privacy necessary to reveal what you want to reveal, and to whom you want to reveal it. It also provides the privacy necessary to hide what you wish to hide, and from whom you wish to hide it.

So, unless a person allows the principal to monitor it, the principal cannot monitor it.

fair enough..dont know why but when I think of it I just think of forcing the kids to show the principal their page/friend them/make their page public or something. Could just be thinking of it the wrong way or too much into it.

Easiest way to gain access to a teenagers facebook is to set up a page of your own with a cute college girl in nice clothes as your profile picture and of course a female name, every boy and most girls will accept you as a friend and then you have access. My brother did this to keep track of his two teenage girls and said it didn't take long before all their friends were asking to be friends with his fake profile. He said it was easier to monitor their actions that way because they were always posting about their plans and updating what they had done with their friends.

Do you consider that wrong or is he being a smart parent?

wrong. I'm friends with my mother, grandma, and other family members on facebook. Now that makes me more conscious of what I put on there, but I think they should just add them.

Posting something on the internet gives you little or no expectation of privacy.

Not all kids are like you, some think that letting their parents have access to their facebook is an invasion of their life. Their are kids out there that like to brag about their personal endeavors to their friends on facebook and want everyone online to think they are the coolest kid in town but don't want their parents knowing that they were out late last night getting drunk and driving around town all shit faced. He busted his daughter one time for lying about where stay spent the night, she told him she was staying at her girlfriends house with some friends and would be home early the next day, then he reads her facebook page a couple days later and she has stories about the great time she had that night while staying at a college dorm with friends and she even posted pictures of herself drunk and hanging on guys and passed out on the floor.

Snitches get stitches, but the principal invaded nothing. No foul.

No. Small town public. If it'd been a catholic school, we could have recruited some sin-loving staff members. At least according to some on the high school boards.

I guess I just dont really see the point for a principal to monitor a kids facebook. I could see something like somebody uploading a video of a fight on facebook(just happened at my old high school not long ago) and the principal seeing it to make judgement who should get punished more heavily or something, but then all that student would have to do it show him the video on his phone, facebook isnt needed. Is the principal going to punish the kid because he has pictures of him having a beer in his hand from a party last weekend?

The supreme court has upheld that students have the right of freedom of speech! This is just an extension of not being able to handle that responsibility and being punished for it! lol The problem our school is having with facebook is cell phones.
