It was less possible for the parents to protect their daughter's identity, but it was eminently possible for the principal, who even went to the beach to see for himself. The photo was circulated to a large group after all. The principle had more than enough visibility on the harrassment and hostile environment, to apply discipline without identifying any particular target of hostility, and anyway it should have been treated as unacceptable behaviour regardless of whether there was anyone in particular targeted. There was certainly no need to identify the daughter, who was essentially a whistleblower. Now the school is being sued for failing to protect her identity, rightly in my view.
