Yes kicking them out is the best way to address this matter with teenage boys, who were silly enough to use newly acquired excels skills to record a ‘Lockeroom’ type conversation that many teens have.

After all, its not like they have grown up in era where the most popular TV shows by miles are reality show sbased on rating everyone - who’s the best dancer, who’s the best singer, who’s the most eligible bachelor .

If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.

This happens. My wife completed her MBA last year. Several male students were expelled as a spread sheet went around rating breasts of the female MBA students. 1 female student left the course because of sexual harassment. Several female students filed harassment complaints with the school. The youngest person in this MBA was 26, most were 30+ adults. If not shown early that this is unacceptable then these boys will become men and their actions will be amplified and become more horrific.
