Is farting on the school bus suspension-worthy?

In Ohio two grade 7 students were suspended from their bus for one day after passing gas. the two kids were given a warning by the bus driver. These kids were reported to their principle by their bus driver for allegedly the display of these "synchronized farts." The mother and father of these children were appalled and took it as a great offence since one of the boys mother had suffered from gastrointestinal issues which inquired her to be hospitalized for a while. Although senior officials in Malawi and other places in the world debate a bill outlawing breaking wind in public, they say it is just as bad as urinating in public.

I personally think this punishment was ridiculous. Young boys often have to break wind and have gas issues, but to suspend a student for breaking wind is obscene. I mean, when it happens, it happens, its not intentional, it's natural. There is no way a place could outlaw passing gas because its inevitable, almost like urination except it doesn't cause damage, harm, or a mark. It is bodily gases which are being let of the body, everyone does it, everyone has done it, and I can guarantee that everyone will do it in the future. You cannot avoid nature
