Correct, Charles. The parameters within which they do have freedom expression are defined by the dress code, which is usually developed and voted upon some combination of parents and school system officials. American Flag t-shirts: not prohibited by the dress code = these (flag-wearing) kids were right = Mexican kids and school principal were wrong.

What do you think would happen if there were to be a vote on a dress-code line item banning the American flag from being displayed or worn on 5/5?

(Awaiting the downdings…)

This wasn’t about dress code, or behavior for any other day of the year. This wasn’t a policy decision, it was an on-the-spot damage control choice. I think it may have been the wrong choice, but it’s not clear-cut.
