As a parent, I believe the assignment was inappropriate. So, teachers may assign ANYTHING they want, no matter how inappropriate and it is acceptable because the student can simply take an 'F'? That isn't acceptable.
Pst, learn what a straw man is, you make them so often. The kid wasn't forced to do the assignment. She didn't do it? Great for her. She got an F. It's not as if she was then told to wear the Mexican uniform and parade around streets. She was told to recite something in Spanish. I don't really care about whether you're a parent or not. The teacher gave an assignment, the kid refused to do it on a bogus excuse, the kid got an F; nd of story. If she had been told to write an essay on the positive role of religion for a social studies class and refused, my answer would remain the same. :shrug:
