How can I frame this action to support the teacher's stance and show the inappropriateness of the attire, while still respecting the student's right to freedom of expression?

You could frame this action by emphasizing the disruption that the student's attire could potentially cause in the learning environment, and how it may be inappropriate for the classroom setting. While recognizing the student's right to freedom of expression, you could point out that there are other methods of conveying a message that do not involve clothing, and ask that they respect the teacher's request for appropriate attire while in class.

While respecting the student's right to freedom of expression, I believe that the teacher is still within their rights to ask the student to change their outfit as it does not meet the standards of appropriateness for their class. The Teacher should be able to clearly communicate why this is important, and suggest alternatives if need be. Additionally, discussing with other students what kinds of attire are appropriate for school can also be an effective way to address this issue while involving them in an age-appropriate manner.
