Did you read anything I posted on this? The ACLU did have a pending suit against this school district at the time of the speech. This suit was in regards to the school and religion. The ACLU spoke up for the school saying that they acted correctly in shutting off her mic. Do you honestly not see the ACLU pressure on this school?

School District lawyer Bill Hoffman has said previously that the school was following 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rulings that have obligated districts to censor student speeches for proselytizing.

I don't know if that's the suit the ACLU was pressing or not. I think that's going to be overturned as a result of this latest censorship though.

However, you never responded to the SC rulings I linked earlier in which the SC upheld religious group's right to meet and conduct religious activites on school property. The SC held that schools may not prohibit this activity based on the fact that it is religious. These meetings fall into your "proselytizing" category and I'll go so far as to say that most christian meetings do.
