Okay, I do not condone the attitude revealed by the two educators.  It is a very poor attitude.  Nevertheless, the uproar is about a private conversation (text messages do not get public unless a spy deliberately and purposely targets access to them - not like facebook posts).  Frankly, I believe sanctions against the photographer are in order.  Moreover, the actual texts read by a third party mean nothing.  They had to be interpreted and deciphered.
