The article states at least 1 student was being held out of school, I think it is a pretty safe assumption that student would have gone if these people weren't fired and probably others. Plus, it's horrible publicity, which is most likely the main reason why they were fired

I wouldn't call it irrational to fire someone for doing something clearly stupid and that clearly has a negative impact on their place of employment.
