As for cases that support the student's position? Here's probably the most applicable:
Layshock vs. Hermitage Schools: A kid created a parody facebook page of his principal and was suspended 10 days. The full 3rd Court of Appeals heard the case and ruled in favor of the student. The Supreme Court refused to take the case. The same appeals court ruled in favor of J.S. vs. Blue Mountain Schools in a very similar case.

Given that ruling, it's quite unlikely the punishment handed down by the school system is permissible. |
This is the district that my kids go to.
