The title of the article reads "Prof Can't Say Why He Kicked Out Windows", but the first paragraph reads "A University of Chicago instructor was at loss to explain why he kicked in plate glass windows of four stores near the campus."
Do "kick in" and "kick out" mean the same?

I thought "kick in a window" means "kick it from the outside, causing glass to land on the inside"; "kick out a window" means "kick it from the inside, causing glass to land on the outside".
