“and was told it was against school policy”
If it specifically states “no political slogans”, OK, sure. But if not, FU.
FU? How about Fah Q? :-)

I see your point, and it is well taken. Even so, the First Amendment still applies to all levels of government, and they can’t censor speech based on content. Time, manner and place, ok. But not content. (Until you get to obscenity and so on....but that’s clearly not at stake here).
But even if they had such a policy it would be invalid. There is a supreme court case that goes back to Vietnam era that basically summarizes it as “kids don’t check their first amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate”. Back then kids were wearing anti-war armbands and the school(s) tried to stop them. Went all the way to the high court and the kids one.
So, unless there is something wildly different here, or a case I don’t know about... this could be easily struck down by a low court based on high court precedent.
