No. Schools, like companies, don't have to provide a platform where people have such rights.
Schools should be the first places where such rights are respected and free discourse is encouraged. Unless you do not see schools as places of learning but as indoctrination centers. Oh wait...
But besides that you are right if this is a private school.
Some dictionaries might include words like “unappropriate” or “nonappropriate” because someone somewhere used the word in a serious manner. Such dictionaries are called descriptive dictionaries; they merely describe the word used without making any observation about its propriety or standard use.

Their policy states that clothing that can cause a disruption aren't allowed. They gave her the choice of changing or facing suspension and she chose the latter.

Schools need to limit distractions, and such a shirt is a distraction.
couldn't disagree more.
people have to quit being so fixated on the little things, like a word or an outfit-or everybody will spend their life offended by something.
we have some BIG issues in this country, and little snowflakes aren't going to melt no matter what the shirt says. This isn't kindergarten.
