That wasn’t sarcasm.

I’m dead serious.

Bring it back.

Her essay was shite. But since she said "Bible" we've gotta make a federal case out of it. Before we know it, we're gonna have a bunch of procrastinating students claiming religious discrimination at every campus in America. Weak sauce

Always funny when people try to bring Christianity into every argument.... The truth is, Christians are imperfect people trying to ascribe to living a clean uncomplicated life.

That said, who really ascribe to the lefts bullshite is those Members of the First Church of Primitive Satanist and their Demonic followers.

This is basically my feeling on it after digging into the details.

This girl doesn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer and probably deserved poor marks at a minimum. If the grading rubric says to cite empirical evidence, don't say "the bible tells me to do womanly things."


But if the structure of her response meets some of the minimum criteria, the a zero is just vindictive behavior on the part of the TA grading the assignment.

And of course getting Turning Point and the media involved is not a good life lesson unless she had literally exhausted all other channels of appeal.

This is true, and accurate but will get downvoted. Most people on the rant are pansy democrats that have been brainwashed like their schools AD in thinking they actually have a chance of being a great program.

Her mom is a lawyer and also a big TPUSA fan, so this feels like she was probably looking for a way to become a "victim" and gain clout from it. It feels very similar to what happened at A&M with that student that got the teacher and president canned.

Please explain, when did someone’s Christian beliefs become “political” speech in the United States of America? Just because you scream and yell “political” does not make it so. I know your type, if you disagree with a comment, you cry political. Based on how you write, I would say you are a very emotional man. ISee, now we both have made allegations.

You need to read the article again, then, if that is what you got out of it.

Fulnecky and her classmates were tasked with writing a response to a scholarly article titled "Relations Among Gender Typicality, Peer Relations, and Mental Health During Early Adolescence," summarizing results of a study about gender norms among middle schoolers and the social ramifications children may face for not conforming to gender norms.

Students were asked to provide a "thoughtful discussion of some aspect of the article." The assignment provided eight suggestions for how to respond, including, "An application of the study or results to your own experiences," "Your own thoughts about how development proceeds in the domain being researched in the article" and whether the student thought the topic was worthy of further study.

It asked for the students opinion. Either you didn't read the information or you are being purposely obtuse. You may not like or believe as she does, but don't twist what the "grading rubric" says.

Samantha Fulnecky is a junior pre-med student at the Sooner State's flagship university.

"I was asked to read an article and give my opinion on the article, and the article was about gender binary and mental health and gender stereotypes, specifically in children, because it's a lifespan development class," Fulnecky told Fox News Digital. "So I was asked to give my opinion and my reaction to the paper."

[b]The grading rubric for the assignment indicates three criteria.

"Does the paper show a clear tie-in to the assigned article?" is the first, worth up to 10 out of the assignment's 25 total points.

"Does the paper present a thoughtful reaction or response to the article, rather than a summary?" is the second, also worth up to 10 points.

"Is the paper clearly written?" is the last criterion, worth up to five points.


None of which requires Empirical Evidence.

[b]"And so then, about a week later, I received a zero on it from the teaching assistant, and he left submission comments saying that my work was offensive, that I need more empathy in my writing, things like if I'm going to argue against the consensus of every medical field. In every medical association in the United States, then I need empirical evidence to back that," she said.


I hate putting so much on here, but there are those who seemed intent on misrepresenting so much of what happened.

Okay Sooners, I have no doubt some of you have read the article about a young woman receiving a grade of “0” on a paper regarding sex and gender. I was so proud of her for standing up for her Christian faith


This isn't about religion. It is about common sense.

Arguably the most famous atheist on the planet, the longtime Oxford biology professor Richard Dawkins, when activists tried to drag him into this discussion, said:

If you do some research, Anton Levey, the original founder of the church of Satan stated the main tenet was to live and let live. Where his church differed from Christians is their belief that if a man insults you or does physical harm on you, that you don’t turn the other cheek. You do everything in your power to destroy that person or institution.

Seems like society definitely has become a beacon of satanist beliefs these days. This doesn’t mean people should be doormats, but it means to put someone on their place without going to extreme. The satanists are extremists

So if she had stood up for her faith but were Old, Ugly, and weak you wouldn't have posted this? There is no relevance for the beautiful, young, strong part.


aside from that...no link, and even if there was one I would imagine, based on your OP, that it would be from a biased source. I think it would be important to have all the facts before posting this. Also for the record I have seen this same story floating around on facebook, but the main character was a college male. Either way, 99.9% of college classes, you're graded strictly on how well you follow the instructions and the depth of the arguments you make. Did this student do that, or did they just say "because my faith says so"

isn't that exactly what this student, their parents, and TPUSA also trying to do by suing? Not to mention several of the comments about sending off dems or trans peoples to mental facilities?

IF we want to be historical about it, the catholic church was that way 600+ years ago, when it would excommunicate you for calling them out on their explotation of illerate common folk.

The instructor is suspended while an investigation is ongoing and the grade on that paper was not applied toward the semester grade. A different teacher finished out the semester.

I attended university classes at 3 different universities in the 80's and 90s. At Mizzou, there were farther left people teaching political science, who did try to influence opinion a bit, but they didn't hold it against anyone who had a different opinion. At Texas A&M there was quite a bit of politics surrounding research funding in the Engineering department, but the only other type of politics I saw there was about the emerging Global Warming debate.

Then in 2015, I went and attended another University that I had taken a couple summer courses from in 1991 and the atmosphere was completely different with politics at every turn. I had to take a bias course and they actually tried to instill biases into the students so that that they could then teach them not to be biased. They even sent out an email when Trump won to anyone who needed a crying room.

Back in the day, white-liberal, crazy women were backhanded and told to go back to the kitchen.

They were never allowed to have a job or occupy an office.

I'm starting to think the men back in the day were on to something
If only we had listened.

This is why I don’t vote in national elections. I’m tired of the hypocrisy. People bitched and moaned when Biden was in. The other half bitched and moaned when Trump was in. Ironically, Donald Trump was the one who started the elections are rigged bullshite. Does that only apply when a Democrat wins an election? It makes no sense.
