She's considering taking legal action against the school for trampling on her right to free expression. So who is this mystery girl? What does her scandalous yearbook photo look like? Keep reading for pictures and video of this too-sexy-for-high-school, First Amendment freedom fighter.... -

Caption Contest: Have a Seat...
Some people say that you'd have to be crazy to go to law school during these times of economic instability, but people keep going. Some go because they're delusional -- they think that they'll be in the top ten percent of the class. Some go because they're narcissistic -- they think that they'll get to listen to themselves talk for hours on end in a law school classroom. Some go because they're masochists -- they think that they'll get beaten by the Socratic method and the curve. Have law schools realized that their students may need psychiatric intervention? -

But apparently, someone took that phrase literally at a law school in Virginia. Here's the photo for our latest caption contest.... -

Indiana Judge Upholds High School Girls' Constitutional Right To Post Slutty Photos Online
Back in 2009, some teen girls in Indiana had a sleepover that lived up to any teen boy’s fantasy version of one. After racy photos from the summer slumber party made their way to the principal’s office, two of the athletes in attendance were suspended from school sports for the year. What did the court have to say about their First Amendment right to post slutty photos of themselves online?
