Taken as a whole I don't believe the school acted in a way to censor and violate these students rights, even though they most likely did. The kids were obviously trying to make a point by wearing the clothing, which probably wasn't a great idea (I can't recall the % of latino students).
But in the interest of stopping these children from stoking the current tensions over Arizona's action, I'm sure the school board has rallied more people toward the whole "USA!", anti-illegal immigration, Mexico sucks, American's are getting picked on side.
Oh, and the school district millions of dollars pending lawyer fee's and almost a guaranteed victory for the students in court.
