IMHO-Principles have need wide discretion to avoid disruptions, distractions and real trouble. Sending kids in provocative clothing home is fine with me. I just do not see trying to treat a shirt as a flag. It’s just a shirt with a pattern. The flags in the classrooms or on the pole out front are the items that deserve respect.

Advocate politics can wait for college.

The kids were apparently given a choice — they could continue wearing the shirts and bandanas in school and be suspended, they could turn the shirts inside out and take off the bandanas and stay in school, or they could go home. They chose to go home.
