the rights of a petition

I'm in highschool in New York State, last week we had a huge party and the football coach sent his son in, undercover to find out who was there. We want to start a petition for a new football coach, one that wont spy on us. If a name is on a petition can any person specifially be heald accountable for their singnature? In other words, be punished for signing this petition?

Is this a joke?

Who are you worried about punishment from?

God? The school? The coach? People in the community who think that your petition idea is excruciatingly stupid?

Or would the punishment be in the form of lack of attention when you tried to raise a ruckus but weren't successful?
