He should ha completed hat section of the test. It may have been a stupid topic but students have had to write essays on stupid topics for many years - Even when I was in school many many years ago. He is a child and don't get to pick and choose what he will do.

And the only place that kids have to write stupid essays is IN public schools. This is not a real-life skill. Nobody is going to write drivel like that once they escape the educational system. Why are the schools wasting time with this stuff when grammar, vocabulary and spelling are so lacking?

what is wrong with not answering a question on a test? how can you force someone to answer? take his non-answer and give him no credit for it... why does he HAVE TO answer it? not everyone has the kind of imagination that that particular essay prompter required... so he's not quick on his feet... fine... don't suspend him for five days!
