Betsey Ramsdale, Beaver Dam Middle School Teacher, Placed on Administrative Leave for Facebook Page Picture With Rifle Trained at Camera

Facebook made it in the news again as middle school teacher Betsey Ramsdale is put on administrative leave by Beaver Dam school officials for her photographed with a rifle trained on a camera on her Facebook page. It is amazing that people don’t realize that there are millions of people on Facebook and it could work against you, especially a teacher having a profile picture such as this.

Apparently, the Facebook photo was brought to the attention of school district officials by a concerned staff member at Beaver Dam Middle School. Ramsdale’s biography on the school district website states she is in her first year of teaching at the middle school. Department of Public Instruction records show Ramsdale has been licensed to teach since 1996. People have to be careful what they post on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and all the other social media websites. You never know who is watching you and what the repercussions will be.
