people have they right to free speech, but they do not have the right to go around saying things that are slanderous or threatening. Similarly, excersizing the righ to free speech does not exempt a person from being responsible for what they say.
I do believe that the school over-reacted (although, since what was said was not revealed, I really cannot judge) but I don't believe that they would have acted if they thought that action wasn't necessary.
