Hardly.

Honestly, in the current environment of the protests and tensions at present, I would considering that as attempting to incite a riot. What did the students who did this expect to happen?

And I need to make a correction. The news report I heard has been corrected, and the kid was suspended, not expelled.

Starting a fire still seems like a significantly worse offense than taking a flag down.
