"The administration told us that our Tebowing was blocking the halls and could potentially cause a riot, because they were growing in number and if the wrong kid gets pushed a brawl could ensue," Carroll told Prep Rally. "We had no idea that we could get suspended for such a thing. It was a joke between a group of friends that took a life of its own. We figured at the most we would just be told to stop."

So, tell me if I have this wrong but..
They got suspended for kneeling on one knee and supporting their head via leverage of the forearm on the knee?
Now how is that punishable?
the action of organising a group to do something challenging the status quo
What is Tebowing? (vb) to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.

Every College I applied to accepted me...they don't care about small things like that unless it's a regular occurrence for serious things. You can also explain what the suspension is for...no college will take this into consideration. All of their teachers will most likely let them make up any missed work.
To cut off funding to schools is even more over the top than the suspension. You're overreacting even worse than the school.
After reading the article, it sounds like they did this for an extended period of time. It is a fire hazard.
It's also said(I had imply here before edit...it's not implied, it's clearly stated) they were asked to move, and they didn't.
You guys are worse than the mainstream news...making big deals out of nothing.edit on 16-12-2011 by Ghost375 because: (no reason given)

I don't think it's the punishment that is the issue, it's the mentality.
