High School Students Suspended Over War Protest

High school students in this country continue to be second class citizens. An Illinois school superintendent suspended a group over an anti-war protest after they followed all the rules.
A group of Illinois high school students protesting the Iraq war have been suspended for their act and may face possible expulsion. What a nice lesson in civil disobedience for them. By all accounts they followed the wishes of the administration, but still face stiff disciplinary action. There is some evidence that certain students were warned before hand and pulled out of the demonstration. What a country!
