Drunken Pirate Denies Student a Degree

Date: 12/10/2008 2:37 pm

Stacy Snyder of Millersville University was denied a degree in education as well as teaching certificate due to a MySpace photo that showed her dressed like a pirate and drinking from a plastic cup. Snyder, a 25-year-old mother of two, was working at Conestoga Valley High School as a student teacher when the photo was taken. Though she was of legal drinking age at the time of the photo, school administrators claimed the photo was unprofessional, promoted underage drinking, and could have offended her students if they had accessed her MySpace profile. Snyder, who was awarded a Bachelor of Arts instead of a Bachelors of Science in Education, recently lost the lawsuit against the university.
