And he didn't. She's not in jail. She hasn't lost any civil rights. She's free to stand on the sidewalk all day long and proclaim her faith. She's free to publish her paper and pass it out to everyone. What she doesn't have is the right to demand a passing grade for an assignment that she didn't complete as it was assigned.
