Great! I guess this means the same disciplinary action will happen at my kids' school next time they are called a cracker.

I agree with you; goose-gander, etc.
If the school has racial abuse rules and you're kids are being racially abused, don't let it go.
Report it and, if they refuse to act, go above their heads.
 
I think that Southern Miss went a little overboard on the punishment by stripping these students of their band scholarships for some stupid trash talk. Now it is pretty silly that they didn't know that Puerto Rico is part of the US Commonwealth, they do need lessons in Civics to learn that someone from Puerto Rico is a US citizen. Chanting about a green card isn't really a 'racial' slur.
