Things differ with translation, but in any translation of the 10 commandments, #2 explicitly calls out "bowing down" and "worshiping" separately. ["Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them" , "You shall not bow down to them or worship them", "You must never worship or bow down to them", " nor bow down to it or worship it."] I personally would not have a problem with it, but I don't find it hard to understand where someone who does believe more strictly in the word of the bible would. Again, I think bailing half way through and crying about it was too much drama, but she certainly should have the right to excuse herself if she feels it's an action that she's not personally comfortable with.
