Your ultimate point -- that publically documenting potentially illegal acts can be a foolish thing to do -- is reasonable enough, but I'm curious how you can justify your position towards children's privacy. Quoth you:

Is this legal? I'd say... yes. Kids have no privacy. They aren't adults.
Ignoring any school obligation to fair process or legitimate investigation into the photographs (those are murkier waters), in strictly the legal sense it has recently been ruled in an Alaskan court (10/2/2007 decision PDF) that underage females have the same right to privacy with regard to abortion (as defined by Roe v. Wade) that adult females do; requiring parental consent for abortion was decided unconstitutional. We could reasonably infer that kids can indeed at least expect greater than "no" privacy (and in matters beyond abortion), even if they are not adults. While this is the opinion of an Alaskan court, the reasoning for their decision seems sound enough that other states might find the same.
