It is legal for a school to bowdlerize (meaning to censor, named after Thomas Bowdler) it's student population in various ways. The Jefferson Institute chronicles a number of examples of student censure: t-shirts, student editorials, certain behaviors, the display of certain materials in lockers. The extent to which school administration may act to limit the expression of it's student population varies from state to state. In some instances, these acts of censure have been challenged and the student has been upheld, so in measure it depends on the willingness of the student body and parents to fight for the rights of that student population.

Legal? Well lets just say you're unlikely to get arrested for it but if you're caught doing it on an assignment you'll probably have to redo it or even fail it and teachers are trained or have a way of picking up these things so I wouldn't risk it and anyway do you really need to go to these extremes to pass anyway, not bowdlerizing doesn't seem to take much effort.

to bowdlerize is to omit or leave out intentinally. If your doing an assignment and using MLA or APA and quoting you must submit the quote as it is so as not to change the meaning.

Apparently it is as it's done often enough (or used to be).
