So I sponsor a school club and we use the chess.com platform. But it has come to my attention that the in game messaging creates a problem. Is there a way to disable messaging for all game that are created from the club platform within chess.com? It is a liability for a school club to use the online platform if kids can bully, harass, or use hate speech against each other through the in-game messaging tool.

No, there's no way to disable the messaging system that isn't changeable by the member.

You could open a ticket with support and see if the accounts could be permanently muted. However, that doesn't stop using the site wide chat at this time.

Would the Chesskid site work better? Does it allow for peer to peer messaging?
