It is important to note that all school policy manuals contain a chemical and
tobacco use/abuse policy; sexual harassment is just as important as that. And
schools have "inappropriate behavior" policies and regularly impose discipline
and loss of bus privileges, etc. for swearing, etc. but, in too many places they
still do not see put-downs about gender or physical assault such as bra-snapping
as a reason to invoke even those policies.

As you are probably already aware, the Supreme Court has agreed to
hear its first case involving peer sexual harassment -- Davis v.
Monroe Cty. Bd. of Ed. We at the National Partnership for Women &
Families are drafting an amicus (friend-of-the-court) brief on behalf of sexual
harassment experts in this case...
