    That's fine, as long as Johnny's parents don't contend that the document 
released is indicative of Johnny's ability or possible 
mental problems...and I wouldn't bet my house on some parent claiming that 
Johnny's essay, attached to my resume in any form with Johnny's name, could 
expose Johnny to implicit "defamation" in the sense that it would hint at 
Johnny's mentality!
