My kid's art was censored for obscenity
at Springton High School

A better one would be:

My kid's art wasn't censored for obscenity at Springton High School

The point, as with all bumper stickers, is to raise awareness, and make a statement. In this case, that Springton censors the art of high school kids. The self-congratulatory statement here is that your kid is So Fucking Edgy, that Springton can't handle their art.

Saying that it WASN'T censored? That's kind of like having a bumper sticker that says "My kid didn't get knocked up/kicked out/arrested at Springton High School." i.e. nothing particularly special, so what's the point of the bumper sticker? Celebrate mediocrity? pfft.

In my case, it was assuming the same art - but the school decided to allow the students to freely express themselves. This would never happen of course; but to me that would be a huge and public complement to the school...

Oh... you were being sincere. That explains things.

Sometimes there's too much irony and witticism that sincerity gets me all confused. Whoopsy.
