I don't think there's enough info in the article to assess the situation properly. If the students made a pointed effort to wear american flags in as a protest against the celebration of a Mexican holiday, then they were jerks and were trying to incite negative reactions. In that case it was perfectly appropriate for the school administrators to nip it in the bud. If there was some other purpose, or if they typically wear those symbols on other days, then there shouldn't have been an issue.
