I don’t think it was the disregard for the American flag by the principal that was the issue as much as the students’ negative and malicious intent by wearing it. That being said, the principal could’ve used a better solution to mitigate the circumstance.

Agreed. Intent was most likely the reason the vice principal did what he did, but the solution may not have been the best one. For people to ignore what was happening and just jump to the American flag aspect is what it is. Some could argue using the flag to incite is, in itself, misguided. A lot of symbols could be discussed ad nauseum, imo.
