Article and video by Danielle Smith, appearing on stollerderby blog.

This article, and accompanying video clip discuss a law proposed in Missouri, aimed a restricting teachers from becoming Facebook friends with their students.  The law was blocked by a Judge, stating that is violates the First Amendment, and restricts free speech rights excessively.  There are still hearings underway regarding this matter.

This is an interesting case of first impression regarding attempts to restrict Facebook based on the relationship between teachers and students.  Watch the video at the link above for more insight into this matter.
