Because someone thought it was a good idea thirty or so years ago (original version of this Act appears to have been passed in 1990). I suspect it was sold as being for the purpose of dealing with violent high school students (who might reasonably pose a real threat to an adult), but of course that isn't how it's being applied. Since the exclusion is done by the principal, it is limited to one school, but the lower the family income, the more difficult it is to move your child elsewhere.
