Well even if you did kick them out, it wouldn't be professional to tell another parent why. I can certainly see how it would feel good to say "Oh them? They just wouldn't follow the rules so I sent them packing!" But I wouldn't advise it. As a parent I would think "so what is she saying about me to others?".
