This is a simple free speech case. The students entering the auditorium with those t-shirts could have easily caused a 'substantial disruption' which legally allows the administration to intervene. I don't think these administrators are acting responsibly right now, but free speech in high schools is a very, very difficult thing to deal with in the moment. The 'Bong hits 4 Jesus' case was ruled in one direction at the District Court level and then overturned by the Supreme Court both of which used the Tinker case as their central basis for ruling.
