Well, she didn't get the approval from the teacher. The teacher however could have just left it at that. She goes on to state things about how you can't mention Christ and how it's inappropriate to do so. That's what concerns me about that particular ruling. That part is a violation of the First Amendment, not the rejection of the idea of the paper. Although it is rather circumspect that the teacher allowed others to research religious matters. The teacher was also mistaken that you can only get information about Christ from the Bible. There are many books and articles about the historical significance of Christ, and I believe you can approach this topic in a research paper and do it well. As long as you can support your statements with sources. I feel that the teacher was out of line in assuming that the girl couldn't be objective without seeing her complete work. However, I'm not an appellate judge, nor am I teacher, so my opinion doesn't really matter now does it?
