I have this discussion with my wife who works at a school.

Children are required to be there. The school has to provide them with all manner of opportunities.

On the flip side, the school can't expect anything from the kids other than attendance. They don't really get to expect a certain level of behavior or performance. They can't relegate the bad actors (behavior or performance) away from those who wish to participate fully. Everyone has to be mixed together.

So you give a certain vocal minority that don't care about the education a heckler's veto. They are regularly disruptive and can't be removed.

Nobody has a solution for actually improving that group of student, but there are enough people involved in public education that demand these students be included in the process that they are trying to wreck.
