That's more what I am focusing on.

Right, but that's all in the context of curriculum. It's not so much behavioral expectations of the students as it is expectations of how the curriculum will equip students. I'll be very surprised if there's not another handbook that outlines what behavior can lead to disciplinary action and what disciplinary action is possible, with appeal rights, etc.

I see what you're getting at, but from a due process standpoint (which is what would matter in this instance), it's pretty irrelevant to a question of whether this conduct falls within the ambit of behavior that the school has said can result in discipline.

The relevance of what you've cited would go to whether the school is achieving its goal in terms of teaching students about responsible citizenship and effective communication, not whether a student can be disciplined.
