I went to the following site http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i22/22a00104.htm and read the article. I don't feel that the professor really crossed the line. I think it was accidental and not intended for everyone to see. With that being said, I do think that as a teacher you have to monitor your words and actions closely. You shouldn't write something on your Facebook account if you wouldn't be comfortable with everyone reading it. Even when you have your account restricted to friends, it doesn't mean that those friends won't tell somebody the things that you wrote.
Teachers, no matter what level they teach, are held to a higher standard. It might not necessarily be fair, but that is how people feel. No matter where you post things, you should always be aware of the possibility that your students or their parents may read it, and you should post accordingly.
