She was failed because she didn't follow instructions.
And yes, I know right wingers consider adherence to stated guidelines an assault on their civil liberties.

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd
