Think of an adult version of this. If your male boss (school principal analog) claimed you were stealing, and detained you in a room against your will so a woman could strip search you, also against your wishes, AND you'd have to see these people every day for years acting as though they did nothing wrong, who thought they were appropriately exercising their authority over you, when they frankly probably not-so-secretly enjoyed doing it... you don't think that'd be slightly traumatizing?

Maybe it's just that Americans are more prudish, but we don't expect to be subjected to something that has bondage vibes to it against our will. At least if you get strip searched in jail it feels impersonal, professional, and detached. It's part of their jobs. School employees aren't supposed to strip down teen girls and search them. And it's always only the girls.

I'm curious what the camera surveillance situation was like too. I wouldn't be shocked if it was on a security recording.
