Post # 4:  Case Scenarios

Scenario 1: Crystal High School star volleyball players Carla Smith and Joey Mathews had been friends since 5th grade and often slept over at one another’s home on weekends. On some occasions other girls from the school joined Carla and Joey. It was at one of these slumber parties that Carla and Joey decided to entertain their friends by posing in sexually provocative positions while one of the other girls took their pictures. None of the pictures contained nudity. In one of the pictures Carla and Joey posed in bikini briefs with several one dollar bills in the waistband ‘stripper style.’ Joey and Carla immediately posted the pictures on their Facebook pages where the pictures could be viewed only by ‘Friends.’ One of the friends made the pictures available to Carla and Joey’s volleyball teammates. The volleyball coach reported the existence of the photos to the principal and indicated that the pictures had caused some dissention and pejorative comments among the members of the volleyball team.

After discussing the situation with the superintendent the principal decided to suspend Carla and Joey from school for five days for their pornographic posing and from the volleyball team for the remainder of the season under the State Athletic Association citizenship rules. Carla and Joey’s parents brought suit against the district. Argue for or against the suspension of Carla and Joey.
