Upset at "the little cretins":

"PANAMA CITY — The school district is investigating a school teacher for allegedly making disparaging remarks about her students on a closed Facebook page for local atheists."

"In one of the posts, Susan Creamer, a teacher with Merritt Brown Middle School, states some of her middle school students 'are taking turns either inviting me to church or leaving (anonymously) flyers inviting me to church events.'"

"'Every time any child sneezes, they loudly say, 'God Bless You!' and look in my direction.'"

"'I am feeling bullied and harassed.'"

I would imagine most districts would have published social media guidelines by now.

It seems that she just let her guard down, thinking that the closed group was insulated enough. I doubt she would have posted that openly.

The thing is that everything posted is either open or potentially open. Easy enough for someone to copy/paste into a publicly-viewable place, I would think.

Yep. It's why she was dumb to post that anywhere. Saying it is one thing--that's deniable. Putting things in writing is another matter, regardless of the location.

Internet Rule Number One for anyone in any type of authority: NEVER post anything anywhere about work or anything to do with those over whom one has authority.

My own opinion.

Of course, after retirement all bets are off... *laugh*

LOL, and here she is a public school teacher somewhere in the Florida panhandle - she could have moved down state, just sayin':

“There is a bevy of boys in one of my classes (middle school) who are taking turns either inviting me to their church or leaving (anonymously) flyers inviting me to church events. Today, I found one on the A/V cart I use for a podium,” Ms. Creamer wrote, according to a screenshot published by NBC News affiliate WJHG.

“Every time any child sneezes, they loudly say ‘God bless you!’ and look in my direction. I have complained twice to my principal – one last month and once today,” she continued. “She has spoken privately to one or two of the little cretins, but it seems to do NO GOOD. I am feeling bullied and harassed. It has become intolerable. I don’t feel like talking with the parents will stop the inappropriate behaviors because, for all I know, the parents are encouraging them.”

A bevy of boys that have the nerve to invite her to church and leave fliers around - then, to add insult to injury, they say "God bless" to her every time she sneezes. The horror, little cretins indeed.
