So instead of shaming the kid with an OSS, it would probably be better to give a detention, explain what the issue is, and maybe have them read some material on why that is inappropriate during the detention.

No history of it at all. There was a thing going around social media to #FreeXXXX once other kids heard why he was in OSS.
Heck, when I was around that age, we had a few sayings that related to girls. Typically it would go like this:
"She's hot!"
"Dude, she's 14!" (we were all of maybe 16)
"If there's grass on the field, play ball!"
Then some one else would go for the gross out factor and say something worse. I completely understand why it is wrong now, but at the time we didn't think about that. The fact is at some level we knew better, we wouldn't say it to a teacher or subject of the conversation, for example.
All that this has taught the kid (any time there is a chance for him to get the short end of the stick, he does), is if you have money or are part of a special interest group, you get special treatment. Which leads him to resent others.
