Students shall not wear clothing that display messages that are vulgar, offensive, obscene, or libelous; that demean others on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability; that promote alcohol or drug use or violence; or that are otherwise contrary to the school’s educational mission. The school administration retains the final discretion to determine that the garment or accessory meets the dress code. Some exceptions may be made for uniforms, formal attire, and/or costumes.
This part seems pretty straightforward to me: It was Spirit Week, the theme of the day was Party In The USA. The school district, in their discretion, determined that the students' attire and other materials were not in line with the theme.
What's not clear is if the school meted out punishment after the school day ended without prior warning. I would also be curious if there was any other politically-charged clothing that went unenforced.
