A lot of those arrests and suspensions were actually illegal when you look at the cases.

The police were called to arrest them for trespassing because they were suspended, but also, they were suspended for being arrested. The logic is entirely circular and if there was any justice the charges would be dropped and the school would be sued for damages.
