504 plan and denied honors class accommodations

DD has social anxiety disorder/depression and has a 504 plan that states no speeches as an accommodation(she is in therapy and we are hoping it will only be an accommodation this year). Her English honors teacher is stating that public speaking is a component of class and she will not be in compliance of district standards so will give zeros if DD does not participate. She recommends DD takes regular English because they will have to accommodate and honors does not. True or not true? If not true, where to find info to get compliance of 504 plan.
p.s. DD is in all honors classes and English is the only class balking at accommodations.
p.s.s. DD chose the honors classes not me and she is qualified to take them.

Any help is appreciated, as I am brand new to 504 plans.
