She had an alternative assignment to do if she did not want to do the primary assignment, an essay, which she failed.
Texas Teen Suing School District After She Was Punished for Not Reciting Mexican National Anthem in Class | TheBlaze.com
She had an alternative assignment to do if she did not want to do the primary assignment, an essay, which she failed.
Reporting the actual story is "bullshit"? Really?
Did she have an alternative assignment? Did she fail it? Is that bullshit?
Or are you simply upset that your silliness felll apart so quickly?
Even The Blaze undermines its own spin and distortion.As an alternative task to reciting the pledge and anthem, she was assigned an essay on the history of the Mexican revolution — an assignment for which she received a failing grade.
According to the lawsuit, filed in federal court Wednesday, Brinsdon was not allowed to return to the Spanish class after her story received media coverage. She was made to sit in the office each day instead of attend class and ultimately failed the course.
She is suing the McAllen Independent School District, principal Yvette Cavazos and teacher Reyna Santos for violating her constitutional right to freedom of speech and equal protection under the law — according to the suit, the district has a policy to excuse students from saying the American pledge of allegiance if they object, but not if they oppose pledging to another country.

There is no First Amendment issue because she was given the alternative assignment, which is perfectly appropriate in the context of a Spanish class; the Equal Protection Clause violation claim fails for the same reason, as all the students were given the same assignment, as well as the same alternative assignment.
One can not claim a civil rights violation when she fails a class as a consequence of her own inaction.
This is yet another failed attempt by the right to contrive a controversy where none exists.

No jackass, she didn't fail it. That's why her grade was changed, dumbfuck. The Mexican Nationalist teacher got her ass handed to her. They should ship THAT bitch back to Chiapas somewhere...

Wait a fucking minute, Clayton. The girl was not allowed back into the class even though she COMPLETED the 'alternate assignment', and due to her 'non-participation' in that class she was failed. She requested to be allowed back into the class and was arbitrarily DENIED, which is why the administration was forced to change her grade.
Tell me something, Mr. Constitutionalist, are you 'all good' with this bullshit?

She failed the alternate essay, kid. No, she should not have been let back in the class without an apology for being such a dipshit. She should apologize for her parents who failed to instruct her better about her responsibility.
This is nothing more than reactionary nonsense that will not fly in the GOP anymore.

The article states she received a failing grade with regard to the alternative assignment, not because of her race, sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, consequently this has nothing to do with an equal protection violation.
She wasnt penalized for refusing to say the pledge.
The student failed the course because she was not allowed back into class, in the context of school disciplinary policy again, having noting to do with her race, sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity.
As for the First Amendment claim, the districts policy to excuse students from saying the pledge of allegiance if they object was administered consistently as the student was not compelled to pledge to another country, hence the alternative assignment.
