Is this punishment fair?

3 kids at my school decided to tp our principal's house and pour syrup on his car now I know thats wrong but monday at school they got suspended for 3 days, one of the boys smiled and they all three got 2 more days this was all from something done...

outside of school, if it was outside of school the school rules say they cant be punished so is this fair?

If the rules say you can't get punished for something outside of school, then it isn't fair.
But it was the principal's house and car...

Yeah, it was fair. Because they did it to the principal, knowing it was the principal, and the principal is something SCHOOL RELATED. And personally, I think only suspending those kids for 3 days was going easy on them.

The punishment should have been more than what they got. They should have to help the janitors out at school for a couple of weeks.

they ended up getting 5 days and now almost everyone in my 8th grade is getting suspended because everyone is rebeling and our school, right now, is totally curupt

Anywhere it takes place, it's called 'Destruction of Property' - criminal behavour - whoever is rebelling is wrong also.

It is fair. The kids are lucky that instead of the principle calling the police and getting them arrested for destruction of property he only suspended them.
