Facebook: Placenta Scandal Photo?

Four Kansas nursing students have been expelled from school after creating a big scandal when a photo was posted on Facebook of themselves with a human placenta.

All four women who had pictures taken with the placenta were expelled and according to the school, there is no way they're going to be accepted back.

Now one of the students, Doyle Byrnes, is seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court in Kansas to force Johnson County Community College to reinstate her before classes resume January 19.

Does anyone know where can I see the Facebook photo of the students posing next to the placenta?

You can find the link to the Facebook picture below.
The four students had themselves photographed with the placenta, which had no identification linking it to a particular woman. Byrnes’ photo showed her smiling broadly, wearing a lab coat and surgical gloves and leaning over the placenta in a tray.

One of the students posted the photo on Facebook. After everyone started to create a scandal about it, the nursing instructor called one of the students and told her to remove it. She did so immediately.

The dean at Johnson County Community College calls it "a lesson hard learned." The photos were taken in November while the students were attending a lab course off-site at Olathe Medical Center.

It should be no surprise to anyone who posts anything on Facebook these days that bad things can come of it. Posting photos to the Internet offers the vast public curiosity a window on poor decisions and creates a permanent record.

Several websites posted the Facebook photo of the student posing next to the placenta.
