How does one prove that anyway? -- That's the major problem with every homo-rights initiative. Anyone can claim to be "gay" or "straight" at any given time. The shoe's on the other foot. Anyone can claim someone else is "gay" or "straight" at any given time, too, and having done so, and having acted on the claim, it's now up to the school to prove it. In the conservative Christian world these girls and their families are a part of, calling someone a homosexual is pretty obviously slander if it isn't true.

"and having done so" should have been "and having called the girls lesbians"

If the girls made a claim to be "in love", or "gay", or were caught acting "amorously" with each other, then it would be silly for the headmaster to do anything but take them at their word and apply the appropriate punishment.
But that's not what this case is about--it's about 'discrimination' against someone who is perceived to be a homosexual. Such discrimination is perfectly valid in my opinion. No school should be forced to accept a deviant behavior as normal, even if one sleazy segment of society is obsessed with it.
