What if a student wore a Darwin t-shirt? Would that student be suspended?

A Darwin shirt (at least the one you posted) does not indicate that someone who believes otherwise is wasting their life.

The way I see it, they have grounds to do this because of the policy that says

If a message can be reasonably interpreted by a person as negative towards another person's beliefs ... the SSRSB feels that such instances are unacceptable and would ask that the message in question be replaced by a message that clearly communicates the student’s beliefs without disrespecting the beliefs or violating the rights of others.
Your shirt clearly falls into the category of the bolded section rather than the underlined section. The students original T-shirt does not.
