Maybe expelling kids would be a bit too much...

Four students at Barre Town Elementary and Middle School will not be expelled, after school officials say they set off a homemade bomb near fields while sports teams were practicing.

The school says the kids copied a video they'd seen on the web site You Tube, and made a bomb out of a 2-liter soda bottle.

The school board will allow the kids to return to the classroom but they will be disciplined.

Police are also investigating the incident.

On the other hand, naming the parents of the kids in the article seems somewhat appropriate to me. Kids can do dumbass things, and will. It seems like a reasonable standard, however, for parents to be able to prevent bombmaking by their kids, particularly in elementary school. And it seems to me that if that reasonable standard isn't met, then it's reasonable to publicly declare who isn't meeting the standard.
