They're not responsible enough that we consider them adults, or let them vote, or let them join the military without parental consent.
And if a high school kid can't grow out of racist tendencies, what is the point of all the marching and speeches and protesting and educating then? By that logic, not one mind can ever possibly change because racism is hereditary and permanent.

Similarly, having admission rescinded is especially inconvenient for the people involved and will stimulate some of them (and those around them) to question their racist beliefs. If people renounce their racism, I am all for giving them a second chance. But giving racists the privilege of a top-tier education, often at the expense of non-racists who were denied that same privilege, all while the racists are unrepentant? Nope.
