Although, in the same situation, I would have been way worse.
I still think this is "filler" this is in no way "real news" I mean seriously so much more important stuff is happening than this

While I agree that the principal was at fault here (note I said principal not school because it sounds like some teachers
tried to punish these students and the adminstration and parents did not support them) at what point do parents have to be responsible for their childs behavior?
Frankly my parents knew my friends, what I did, and where I was pretty much until I went to college. They were open about the fact that drinking underage was not acceptable in their house and there would be consequences about it. I knew my parents meant it and I respected them enough to follow their rules. Once I went to college my parents started to trust my judgement, but until then they said I was a kid and as a kid I was going to do dumb things and it was their job to keep me from dumb things that would harm me or others. So sorry if this sounds mean to some, but I do blame the parents in this sutitution quite a lot.
They should have known what their daughters were doing. It is their job as parents to know what their children are doing. I could not believe in the dallas article a parent said that if the school had told them their daughter was disrespectful they would have done something. Hate to tell that parent, but if they had raised their children right the reports of disrespect and the reports of drinking would not have occured.
