It would be ideal if schools were more focused on getting textbooks that aren’t falling apart, and less focused on some photo a teacher puts on her Facebook — a photo that isn’t offensive at all.
Let’s talk about English teacher Lydia Ferguson, who teaches at the Ousedale School. And we need to talk about her because she was suspended because, according to the administration, shared a “sultry” and “provocative” selfie on Facebook. Ferguson was then escorted off the property.
Want to see the photo that drove her bosses up the wall? Look how shocking it is…

In conclusion, Carbert is no fan of Ferguson. But here’s hoping Ferguson prevails.
