I wonder what normally gets kids suspended?

Lots of jokes have gotten students suspended. If they would have clogged up the hallway by laying on the floor and doing "dead Elvis" impressions, they could have been suspended.

Now, should they have been suspended for the first time it happened? I think not.

From the article:

Riverhead School District Superintendent Nancy Carney said principal David Wicks made the right decision adding "this is not about religious discrimination. It is about being sure kids are able to get to class on time and keeping the kids safe and orderly. These students were warned and did it again," Carney said. "If the kids aren't going to abide by rules, there are consequences."

Doesn’t matter if religions or political in nature, causing a disruption at high school has consequences. Each school has a lot of items that you can be suspended for. Causing a disruption and not obeying the school figure after warned not to do it again, sounds like a reasonable punishment to me.

Of course, this had nothing to do with religion. They were not kneeling a praying. They were "Tebowwwwwing". By their own admission, they were goofing around.

But, even if they had all knelt to pray... or bowed to Mecca... or wiggled to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, had they blocked traffic and been warned at least once, they would/should be suspended.
