I wonder if the joke really was racist. They should have published the joke so people could judge for themselves. I hate it when new reports only tell part of the story and leave you wondering about many of the pertinent details.

That was my first thought...

Hm, given the atmosphere, it was probably about Arabs. The left these days seem to think that Arabs should be considered especially fragile and protected and are NOT to be offended or profiled!

I agree. In fact, the story REALLY should read as follows: "...students were suspended for telling WHAT THE PRINCIPAL CONSIDERED TO BE a racist joke." When the paper calls it "racist" without this qualification, it is supporting the principal's point of view and is editorializing.
