Surely this is an Onion inspired thread if you believe the criminal prosecution for exposing one's buttocks is the result of some imagined "nanny state" unless of course you date the origins of nannyism in the U.S. to the 18th century.

The community in which this occurred sets the standards of acceptable behavior. There's an elected School Board, Mayor or President of the community, a police department and the local judiciary. The school took the action it deemed appropriate. As did local law enforcement. Now a local judge will review the matter and make a determination. I doubt the young man will suffer more than the embarassment for what he did, and probably probation. I'm not as quick to be anti-schools, anti-government and anti-law enforcement ... and, really, anti-citizenry as your remarks make you seem to be. Let the local people handle the matter right now.

The local laws govern the situation. Read those and you'll have your answer. What you, I or anyone else on the www thinks about it ... the law governs. Respect the people who establish the law. The citizenry.
And of course, do NOT label them a sex offender in any way
