Too provokative. That said, kicking her out of a school is unorthodox and not a very Torah preserving behavior. She should have been permitted to make her own choice, but that said, one may not have wished to be her acquaintance any longer. I would have asked her to leave the school for a 2 week period and let her continue. That way she gets to stay in the place of education ultimately and she will clearly be seen as someone who has indeed violated our Orthodox Values. To cut her entirely is completely inappropriate and stinks of the trust destroying manners that is so prevalent in many Orthodox Communities. No wonder why children go off the derech and find ways to live besides Torah. This is indeed a very horrible story and it only brings Torah to the bottom of the cabinet of Jewish life. Sad story guys. But she still was in bad form.
