Umbridge as tyrant / Twins leaving Hogwarts(WAS:Re: Hermione's Hex

The case which established that children do not 'shed their rights at the
schoolhouse door" was TINKER VS. THE DES MOINES SCHOOL BOARD (I haven't the cite
here); during the Viet Nam war several students wore black armbands in mourning
for those who lost their lives in Viet Nam.  They were ordered to remove them;
they refused and were suspended and/or expelled.  Their parents sued and the
case went to the US Supreme Court.

The Twins didn't exactly 'drop out' of Hogwarts.  They had already passed their
OWLS; they just decided not to continue for their NEWTS.  Their situation is
more like a couple of HS graduates who decided not to go to college, or junior
college graduates who decided not to go on to a senior college.
