The kids created an offensive parody.

Yes, the same kind that has driven other children to suicide. We could not disagree more.

Apparently. If you wish to criminalize "mean speech" because the meanness of the of the speech might make someone do something untoward - either to themselves or to others, then yes, we could not disagree more.

Substitute "Rush Limbaugh" for "kids" - Rush Limbaugh's mean where website he hosts "mean, homophobic" parodies, made a gay student kill himself. Limbaugh has been charged with cyberbullying.

When can't limit one person's free speech rights because someone might be so offended by the exercise of those rights that they're incited to kill themselves, or even others.
