Every time (that I know of) that this has been tried, there has been
such an outcry that it has been stopped.  It seems that most of the
students so expelled are [minority, poor, ...] and, so the argument
goes, the expulsions were yet another ploy to deny the benefits of
education to [minority, poor, ...].  Truth is, the [minority, poor,
...] who were expelled were unruly.  I think this is because they have
role models who [reject any authority figures, put down the value of
education, ...], but I have no real basis for such a belief (It is
intuitively obvious ... :-)   ).
