Comment BAD IDEA fro School (or any employer) (Score 1) 407
Employers should be VERY, VERY careful about how they treat employee's Facebook accounts. An employee's facebook account is likely to have information on the employee's
Health
Family History
Sexuality
Marriage Status
Religion
National Origin
Age
All of the above could be found on an average facebook account and can be used against an employer in a lawsuit claiming termination based on discrimination. It's really the best idea for employers to make it a clear policy that they DO NOT want to see any of their employees facebook information. If anything, employers should ban their employees from HAVING facebook pages, but that's not likely to make employees very happy.
