Sophomore suspended for posting photos taken in classroom sues district

A high school sophomore who was suspended for taking photos of his teacher during class and posting the pictures online from home, lost the first round of his lawsuit against the school district Dec. 11, when a federal judge refused to lift the student's suspension early.

"The student took the photos with his digital camera Nov. 20, during his Language Arts class. The pictures show teacher Jessica Hauser at her desk, looking over paperwork and talking with other students. Hauser did not notice the pictures being taken, but in some of the seven pictures, students smile or give a thumbs-up to the camera. Later, Glover used his home computer to post the pictures to his Facebook profile."
