So just let some shitty friends corrupt her, don't do anything until they f*ck her future up?

When your DD gets hooked on weed or heroin or ends up pregnant or with a daytime DUI you can comfort yourself by saying "but her grades were so good, where did this behavior come from?"

This is not OK. I agree with your husband’s punishment.

Teach your daughter responsibility. None of my children have ever skipped school, because they were required to attend by me, no exceptions, no excuses.
Must be nice to be so perfect. Do you feel better about yourself bragging here?

+1. School is my kids' job. Provided they're doing well on all measurable objectives and are not getting into serious trouble at school, I don't get involved much at the high school stage. If my kids got into trouble at school for cutting class, I would expect them to deal with the consequences of their actions. Otherwise, I wouldn't consider it a big deal unless there were significant other factors at play (missing curfew by more than our family's grace period, missing a family obligation, etc.)
So, its ok your child skips school but not misses an family obligation... wow. If it is their job, is it ok just not to show up at work one day?
It actually okay to not show up at work multiple days.
Where do you work?
Really? Never had that. I am expected to show up every day. If not, I get fired. My husband can work at home but he's expected to work and it can be tracked/traced as everything is online.

Nobody is paying them to go to school. It's an obligation, not a job. I wouldn't show up at my job if my pay was delayed by a moment.
