I think you handled it well, and yes, if it were me, I'd talk to the teacher in private. She probably regretted saying it as soon as it was out of her mouth. And if she wasn't, I'd consider bringing it up with her supervisor.
I like that you're encouraging your daughter to do what she feels is right, even if someone in authority is suggesting otherwise.

Well first of all, gasp! teachers aren't perfect. I don't think a week goes by that I don't wish I had phrased something a little differently, or just left my mouth shut.
I'd certainly go talk to the teacher and find out what her intention had been. And teachers don't always know everything about every child. There isn't enough time in the day to get to really know every single kid. And, I don't allow a messed up home life to excuse poor behavior, or forgetting your meds, or having too much sugar for breakfast... Of course, I'm working with 10 year olds, not 6 year olds. Ten year olds understand group norms a bit better.
