Students certainly have a right to fail.

If they are filling up their time with Facebook/Myspace or video games rather than working on their homework, then they have earned their right to fail.

I played video games through college, but I also made sure that my homework was done first. It is awful how time kind of melts away while playing games, and you don't even realize it. Plenty of times where I only planned to play like 20 minutes, and ended up playing for a couple of hours.

It is all about having priorities straight. If your priority is to play video games, then maybe college isn't for you. Your next job may be digging a ditch, but at least you can play Video games on your free time.
