That's very sad. Unfortunately for you, administrators will often base their decisions out of the fear of the unknown. Unless your lucky to have an administrator willing to take a stand, they will often take the safe route. It's better to isolate the member than to take the potential heat from some angry parents, for example.
I'm not claiming to know what exactly went down in your particular situation, but it seems that the whole situation could've been avoided. If you have friends on the teams with parents willing to fight for you, perhaps they can bring the issue to school administration on your behalf.
