The incident occurred during a day set aside by a student group to promote tolerance of gays and lesbians.

Seems to me that the kid can "tolerate" the homosexuals in the school, but they can't "tolerate" his opinion.

"The incident occurred during a day set aside by a student group to promote tolerance of gays and lesbians. School officials said the shirt was offensive, could have led to disruptions at school ..."

I see. But gay day at the school was not offensive and would not have led to disruptions.
