Apparently, she's not.

You don't own the license plate. The state does. They can tell you to do what they want with it. Your rights aren't being oppressed. This is like being pissed off you aren't allowed to waltz into your neighbors house uninvited.

If the State permits custom plates, then the State cannot censor those custom plates based on their content.

The state charges a fee for those plates and an extra fee for vanity plates. I'll agree that the state owns the right to suspend your registration for a legitimate cause (like an uninsured accident or unpaid fines), but those plates are bought or leased by the person or business registering a vehicle and so long as the state allows ANY vanity plates they are overstepping by censoring what's on them especially AFTER they are issued.
