Kylene Nelson, a 42 year old teacher at a Pasco County…. wait for it…. Flori-duh came to class drunk, pulled down her pants while trying to force the students to dance with her, ran out of the school to a nearby community center and then passed out by a pool. When she finally got tested, she had a blood alcohol content of 0.26. If you don’t know, that’s a hell of a score. (source)
She got caught because the students whipped out their camera phones and took video of the incident. However, it is reported that the principal ordered the students to all delete the footage from their phones. (source and video). Of course, the principal had no right to do that. The students had a First Amendment right to photograph what was happening, and at least one kept his footage and gave it to the local news station.
Sadly, when you’ve got a drunk, gyrating, panty-less, Flori-duh teacher story… the First Amendment issues seem to get lost in the shuffle.
Hat Tip to Dan Steinberg.

wow.
Well, if I were a drinker, I’d remember not to show up for class drunk. :)
Seriously, good point about the school attempting to tell the students what to do with their video footage.
I am glad that one student stood up to the school administration.
the whiskey don’t make her take her britches off- it just lets her.
that’s a story for the ages for the kids in that class!
Wonder what happened to the principal. Idiot ought to be canned.
And really, she is lucky that the video did not receive wide distribution on the net (assuming, of course, that it did not).
