The American Civil Liberties Union Wednesday urged officials at Morton West High School to reconsider suspensions and possible expulsions of students stemming from an Iraq war protest at the Berwyn school last week.

More than two dozen students were suspended and some are facing expulsion after a sit-in last Thursday in the school cafeteria.

The ACLU said the protest was non-violent and did not prevent students from getting an education. It called the 10-day suspensions and possible expulsions imposed on some students "grossly disproportionate to the alleged offenses."
