I do think they are 2 separate issues. The threats of violence impact other people's safety. The girls only jeopardize themselves, and therefore, it's up to the parents to monitor what their kids are doing.
Did you see the Georgia teacher who was "fired" (told to resign or else) for posting pictures from her trip to Ireland that included a couple of pictures of her holding a beer from a pub? She wasn't intoxicated nor were the pictures that they showed on CNN provocative in anyway. They were just pictures of her holding a full glass of lager. I thought that was crazy!
I do NOT think that teachers should be befriending students currently in school. Jason's asst band director from high school friends his students after they graduate, which I have no problem with. A friend of mine teaches Chemistry, and I'm pretty sure she has current students on her friend's list. I think that's just asking for trouble.
