Cheerleader Sues Coach Over Accessing Personal Facebook Account

A high school cheerleader claims that her coach demanded that she provide access information to a personal Facebook account. The coach is said to have used that access to logon and then shared content from the account with other school officials. The student was punished by school officials due to what the student claimed was information found on her Facebook account. The student is suing the school and teacher for violations of her Constitutional rights of privacy, free speech, and association.
