Why are people so afraid of adults communicating with adolecents outside the structure of school. Does society no longer value mentors? Yes, there are bad people out there. But if you fear that every interaction will turn bad, you may just get your wish.
It's not even just that though. A teacher's friend could tag him in a photo where he is drinking, smoking, etc and this could lead to trouble if the student's parents have a problem with it. The same goes with a teacher sharing his/her political, religious, etc views on facebook.
i think you've gone so far left that you've started going right. it doesn't really matter if the parents are offended by what a teacher does on their own time. the parents have the right to restrict or monitor their child's internet use, and that's it. if the teacher lives in some small town where he would get fired for something like that then he should use discretion posting, or better yet move to a town where people don't start mobs wielding pitchforks and torches...
Should K-12 teachers be Facebook friends with students?

I agree with most of what you say, but reality differs.
