As bad as these kids actions may have been, the charge they were convicted of was a misdemeanor. You really think that students need to be deprived of extracurricular activities (like band, football, math club, etc) if they commit a misdemeanor away from school?

I think the person who should be making that decision (i.e. the judge) is in a much better position to weigh the plusses and minuses against the gravity of the particular offense than any of us here would be.
