whatever. I am betting the student wanted to show off her privates and the principal was irritated that the student had done it again

Yeah, try having been on e of the 10% in the military in 19080s and female. These dorks sergeants would walk up and say “Ma’am, I probably should nt say this........” and I would say “then don’t”. That shut a lot of them up

Exactly my point. There are ways to manage things **before** they escalate. Emotionally mature and balanced men and women learn who to do this.

One thing that has helped me is to make it know early in a working relationship that I am a **firm** Christian. It is amazing how well behaved and mannerly men are when they know that. Keeping things professional ( lady-like) in dress and speech sets the proper tone as well and there are far fewer ( no) “misunderstandings”.

Wrecking a man's career over something that is not genuine sexual harassment will wreck a woman's career, too.

I don't want boys labeled with the legally loaded labels of sexual predator or sexual harasser when they are merely being the immature, and still undomesticated, creatures that they are.

I agree. I'm not opining on what the legal situation should be, exactly, but on the stance to be taken toward the behavior, which is that it is not acceptable, whether in the school, the neighborhood, or the workplace.
