The swasitka anecdote is a false equivalency. Schools are not part of the public forum, so freedom of speech also should not fully apply there. What would have happened if said school boy would have drawn a swastika on, idk, the sidewalk of the street leading up to the school?

It would arguably be worse, since you are allowed to wear swastikas in private. You cannot wear them about town, that's legally considered a hate crime.
