Indiana Teens' Racy Social Media Photos Are Protected Speech

(CNN) -- An Indiana school district might appeal a summary judgment that said it violated two students' First Amendment rights by punishing them for posting racy photos to social networking sites, the district's lawyer said.

The female students, then both rising sophomores, took a series of photos featuring "phallic-shaped rainbow lollipops" at several sleepovers during summer 2009. None of the photos were openly accessible to non-friends or those who did not have a photo-sharing password.
