Seems to me like schools limit freedom to not just for "shits and giggles" but to prevent people from being offended ( the best they can ) and to maintain a comfortable learning environment. And while this was at a dance, it was still a school sponsored event, which means school rules still apply.
What if the school had given in and let her wear the dress and other people had been offended and sued? I dont really like PC crap but I think schools are the most effected by it. Had the school allowed her to wear it, they could have been possibly dealing with even more crap than this right now.

If a student wishes to dress up like Hitler, Tojo or Stalin, that is their right. A public school does not have the authority to dictate what you can or can not wear. Just because some public schools do this, doesn't mean that they are permitted to do so.
As far as yelling, and such, as long as they are not in class, they are also permited to do so. Remember, public schools are PUBLIC.
