Throwing him into the gym naked
They might have been able to set this in the 40s or 50s and have that be plausible, but in 1996 in a big school, every one of those guys involved would have been arrested. The trope of unhinged bullies who publicly do what they want with zero consequences is such a lazy and outdated theme, but Hollywood can't let it go. Other students were starting to push back long before that, and certainly the staff would not have let that slide. It's like the bullies picking on the handicap kid in Shazam. Just lazy writing.
