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...

A better one would be:
My kid's art wasn't censored for obscenity at Springton High School

Oh... you were being sincere. That explains things.
Sometimes there's too much irony and witticism that sincerity gets me all confused. Whoopsy.
