Teacher Punishes Boys With Haircut, Pink Bows

Story here. Excerpt:
Another article supporting the fact that boys are treated like animals in the education system. These female teachers must have taken many women studies courses. What better way to abuse a boy than humiliating him with pink bows. Sickening! Excerpt:
"Debbie Hackman's son, Caleb, was one of two boys who came home from school this week with a new haircut -– and the barber was the boys’ teacher at Milan Elementary School.
According to students, fourth-grade teacher Jennifer Blockman punished the boys by tying pink bows in their hair and cutting their hair in front of the class."

Criminal Penalties for the Teachers -- Battery?
As far as I know, this qualifies as "battery" under the common law definition of battery. It's thus quite possible that the hair cutting could constitute an act of criminal battery in some states.
Hopefully the parents will make an issue out of this.
This is low-level sexual abuse
She decided to undermine their public sexual identity as a punishment. These boys were sexually humiliated in public. That is not trivial. The story states that one of the boys is now school-phobic. His education and socialisation have been seriously affected by this 'joke'. This trash is not fit to teach children. They need to fire her.
You forget though...
That you cannot sexually humiliate or harass men because the male body - in particular male genitals and masculinity - are the number one target for public humiliation and even mutilation.
How can we begin to protect out sons from this when society as a whole (excluding MRAs) sees humiliating males sexuality as a perfectly acceptable thing to do?
