Yes Slytherin done that, but that was because he left.  If he had stayed that 
wouldnt of happened.  So the Slytherins would be in the same way.  Better to 
keep them in.  Like Zaskun,  I think it is unfair.  Talk about prejudice.

However, in the books they are portrayed to be *all* evil.  When good things 
happen and there is a speech in the Great Hall none of the Slytherins ever 
clap (i think that this reason is peer pressure for good slytherins) and when 
Cedric Diggory died the Slytherins didnt raise their glasses.

Funny then that in the movies, all Slytherins clap except for Draco and co. 
(CoS)

Slytherins become victimised as soon as they are sorted into Slytherin.  It 
might just be the house for them because they are ambitious, but all the other 
houses judge that person as 'evil' just because they are in that house.

My thought
