The principal suspended the 14-year-old last week for ten days, but he's recommending long-term suspension or expulsion.
Right. Because calling federal authorities and recommending some kid be kicked out of school is definitely some A-Class school administration.

Agreed. But, if the principal is trying to make a (literal!) federal case out of it because it's a flag then the protections for screwing with a flag should apply. If he was treating "throwing a flag out the window" the same as "throwing a textbook out the window" then there'd be no reason to bring up "protected free speech".
