As far as I know, unless I'm misunderstanding the facts, one school district doesn't have a duty to protect the civil rights of students in another school district, even assuming there was a civil rights violation by these actions -- which there isn't.
The First Amendment has to deal with government action against citizens for what they say and even that has limits. Not sure if the First Amendment is an issue here.

I am also not a lawyer and I do not know the Civil Rights case law that would deal with this issue. I agree with most of what is said, I just do not know if a lawsuit is going to solve the issue.

Peace
