There is two side to the the story. 1) Employer should never ask for passwords to anyone's privately owned Internet accounts, gmail/facebook/twitter whatever.
But 2) Employees should never use social network to revel work problems, company secret, or make fun of co-workers, complain and demonize co-workers. If someone is found violating that principle, there should be ways for independent party to verify the complain/violation, and for companies to take action.
I have seen social network abused by individuals to do something really tasteless to their coworkers, and something needs to be done about that.
At the time, Hester was a teacher's aide at Frank Squires Elementary in Cassopolis. According to a letter from the Cassopolis schools superintendent to the Lewis Cass Intermediate superintendent, a parent who was friends with Hester on Facebook notified the school about the picture.
The complaining parent can hand over her Facebook password.
