They skipped class, they should get punished. Protest is not a freebie.

BUT, expulsion?

The only thing that would warrant expulsion is if the person had a record of disruption of school with these things. (Say 4 protests in a short span of time, or not agreeing to leave the cafeteria and go somewhere else that would not impeed other students work/classes).

To press CRIMINAL charges is truly preposterous. So long as they did not damage or interfere with anything (there was no reason for the school officials to have to come out unless they were bothering other students) there is no reason to hold them criminally responsible.

Like I said, they should have to pay their pennance, and that should be in line with what they did (skip class, disrupt classes). But any more than that is reactionary.
