Marietta knew a few things though, or could deduce them:

[1] Umbridge was after Harry's blood, and his expulsion.

[2] Umbridge would not stop just at Harry (Lee Jordan in detention, 
Fred and George stopped from quidditch too)

[3] Umbridge wanted to sack the teacher and Dumbledore

By siding with Umbridge and the ministry, Marietta showed she was 
*against* those that Umbridge wanted to sack... Even though she 
couldn't know about Dumbledore, it was an *offense* against the 
regular teacher. Plus, she agreed without bothering to trade a job of 
her mother (and we aren't even sure she'll been sacked) to the whole 
life of more than one boy (remember the snapping of wand.....). What 
Marietta did was NOT acceptable, by any measure.
