Hello! Inquiring as to whether or not this comes under legal extortion and is it possible to take to court / do anything about this?
I am a student in a private school and one and every few years or so, we have a music festival which all money made goes to poverty stricken in East Timor. Although it sounds nice, tickets cost $20 and they have said it's a donation to the charity, but if you don't come to the event (not donate to the charity), you will receive disciplinary action which is to the schools choosing (such as being forced to come to school on Saturdays and so forth).
I'm not taking them to court, but I would like to know whether or not this is extortion
Cheers.
