“How would you feel if you went to the graduation and the speaker was a Muslim who had a preapproved speech that he threw in the trash as he stepped up to the mic - and then proceeded to give a half hour speech on Mohammed and Koran.”

If his speech included strong support of the US Constitution, yes.

And if it did not but urged the adoption of Sharia and denounced all infidels in the audience? How about a Planned Parenthood rant urging other students to have all the sex they wanted as long as they used birth control, but not to worry if they didn't because they could get an abortion? I'm sure parents and siblings in the audience would have gotten a real kick out of that. I can see faulting the administrators for bad judgment about what is appropriate for a high school graduation but since they didn't know what was going to be said, how can they be faulted for following a reasonable rule?

I had argued in a previous post the rule seemed reasonable and we can only speculate whether or not the speech he actually gave would have been approved or not. The speaker never gave the administrators that opportunity but chose to deceive them and then make issue about a rule he knew was in place. Since the speaker went off script, how could anyone know what he was going to say?

If anyone can show me proof that his pro-constitution speech was pre-censored, then I will accept the premise the school acted inappropriately.
