Teacher fired because of Facebook photos

Since schools think they can keep students in suspended animation by controlling what they do on their own time (when their acts have nothing to do with school), I guess teachers are no longer safe either.

In Barrow County, Georgia, a teacher was fired because she had photos on her Facebook page in which she held (gasp!) beer mugs and wine glasses during a trip overseas.

The firing occurred after some crybaby complained to the school about the pictures. Aw, did somebody get upset?

Now the school district is being sued by the fired instructor.

Isn't there a union contract prohibiting such clearly illegal firings? Or is the teacher out of luck because of Georgia's work-for-less law designed to keep workers down?
