90 minutes of discussion between students and parents.
They were sent home.
Are you saying that it is unreasonable for staff to send students home when they refuse to honor requests by the staff?
Is sending them home punishment if the purpose of sending them home is to remove them from imminent (from the staffs perspective) danger?
Was it reasonable to assume that there was imminent danger"
History of altercations between Mexican-American and Anglo students on this day
Student were sent home to remove them from danger.

I'm saying that such requests must be reasonable and, whatever the motivation behind it, wearing a shirt sporting the US flag isn't what I would consider to be provocation. More than just those students needed to be talked to.
