Is this surprising? I can’t get a plate that says “FUCKYOU” either.

You can in Maine.

In New Jersey it's implied.

I'm fine with them limiting what can be on personalized license plates, they don't even have to offer them. If she got this as a bumper sticker or something, then I don't think the government can force her to remove it.

She's had this plate for 10 years, don't know why they are rejecting her now.

Her plate is "69PWNDU"

By that logic what you post on the internet is you ISPs speech and should also be subject to their control. No that I support a "FUCKYOU" plate but the law has to be honest with it's prejudice.
