the teacher responded to her exercising her free speech by telling her "you enjoy the freedoms in this country, if you don't like it you should go back to your country" pretty shitty reaction. the school district put out a very strongly worded memo that they DON'T tolerate this kind of treatment of students, and didn't do anything other than the statement.

It's absolutely abhorrent behavior. The absolute most I would expect out of the teacher is a friendly confirmation that the student wasn't sitting because they just zoned out. Even that kinda seems like a waste of time.
