His question is not whether he should do it or not, it is whether it is discrimination to get a lower grade?

Duh, it doesn't matter, it's high school. You do what you are told or you pay the price, there's nothing new about that.
When you went to school, didn't you expect to get a lower grade if you didn't do what the teacher said he/she wanted you to do? There's no discrimination, EVERYONE has to do what they are told. You can't whine you're being discriminated against because you don't want to do what they say, that's bullshit.

Duh, so when black kids in Mississippi were forbidden to go to "white" schools, it was just school, it wasn't discrimination - according to your definition.

Would it be discrimination if the teacher made everyone dance with a partner of the same race, or suffer a lower grade?

that strawman has nothing to do with it, the class is not split. EVERYONE has to do the same thing... follow instructions or risk a lower grade.
