There are definitely bad things going on in school nowadays but I would not agree that the assignment violated the girl's religious beliefs. Christianity states it's an abomination to BE a homosexual, not to hypothesize what it would be like to be one. I would disagree with the girl's reasons for not doing the assignment, but I do think the assignment was stupid. It was especially strange that the kids were asked to keep it secret.

I imagine that a better statement would be that the girl was extremely unconfortable discussing homosexuality in terms of "a minority heterosexual in a primarily homosexual community" and "the origins of homosexuality". I imagine she felt a lot like Lot did.
But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.
