Are these explusions fair?

If a group of adults did it to another adult it would be called "assault."   They should be charged with assault as juveniles.

At the very minimum the perpetrators should be barred from school sports.  So far as that goes .... I think public schools, colleges, and universities should do away with all sports, excepting maybe some intramural.   Let 'em join a private sports league if they want to play sports.

So to clarify, you feel that "pantsing" is an offense worthy of expulsion?

What about giving someone a wedgie?  Expulsion?  What if someone looks at someone else and goes "Naaaah, nah, nah, naaaaaaah, nah!!"?  Is that worthy of expulsion?

Your first sentence would depend on previous conduct problems with each individual.

Your second sentence is just your silliness.

Turn it around and imagine it was your child being bullied...having his/her pants pulled down against their will,  photos taken, and posted on the internet.  Social media changes everything....pranks are now public not isolated like when you were just being a brat.

Morality, values, accountability and personal responsibility is important and should be taught by parents. In fact it is a very important part of parenting.

We're talking about a group of football players, teammates, horsing around on the bus after a game.  Did you even read the article?

Now if it were my child it would be different.  I would want to see swift, immediate, justice.  Perhaps a "Hey!  Quit horsing around back there, guys!" or "Sit your asses down now and stop horsing around!".  At the very worst, for a student with a chronic history of issues, suspension could possibly be fitting if there are extenuating circumstances that were left out of the article that would make this more serious.

Now if someone calls in a bomb threat, expulsion.  If someone brings a gun to school, expulsion.  On the other hand, if someone flicks the ear of the person sitting in front of them, "Stop playing around and mind your studies!"

The issue isn't about  an illegal bomb threat and it's not about thumping an ear. It's regarding pulling a boys pants down against his will and photographing/ loading the images for the internet.

BTW The article also stated there were previous problems with students involved.
