Teacher may lose job after derogatory comments about her students on Facebook

Teacher dares vent about her students to her socio-political circle on Facebook (a private entity) and may lose her job over it. What the fuck?
I can get the professional standards when one acts as a public figure - Facebook, however, is a private entity. Why is is that people can get fired over personal endeavors? It makes no sense.

The kids were giving her Bibles and Jesus postcards and reading Bibles instead of doing their classwork, and seemed to have enjoyed flaunting their dumb-ass religiosity at her. So she vented on Facebook. The parents got indignant that she would dare to express her unhappiness with their darling little children, and are pressing to have her fired — but the curious thing is that the only comments they quote all seem reasonable and moderate.REF: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/...d_thou.php
