Freedom of Speech and Separation of Church and State square off in a high school yearbook photo
Goodness, that's a hard one. My own thought is that there should be two official photos taken.
One photo can be about self-expression - the Jesus kids could wear their shirts; other kids could wear other expressive stuff; kids who really felt it to be against their conscience to participate could be allowed to step out of that photo.
The other photo would be one where there were no slogans (and I suppose, to be fair, students would have to be given a chance to not participate in that one too).
Then both photos could be printed in the yearbook, as official photos; and people could order prints of whichever one (or both) they pleased.
