Both MTG.

They should be commended for what they were doing and why, but absolving them from any punishment for doing something against the rules is not right either.

Why couldn't these kids protest after school?

How about on a weekend?

Why did it have to be during classes?

I know why. They would not be able to get as many on a weekend because they would all have other "more important" things to do.

So saying that they should not be punished because of what they were protesting is a little unfair. On the same level, EXPELLING them is above and beyond anything reasonable. They should get detension (I have never seen where suspension is really a punishment UNLESS, ironically, they are actually GOOD students that want to learn!!).

As for the arrests? Misdemeanors that should get community service and be done with it. Nothing serious, but enough to remind them that there is a consequense to some of their actions.
