From the story:

“Many people have said you never know what kind of effect you're going to have on other people and on the world. And now I'm in my 70s, I’ve come to believe that's very, very true. And this is when it really hit me because I thought to myself, ‘You have, just by making this fellow a grade he didn't like, affected the U.S. Constitution more than any of your fellow professors ever thought about it and how ironic is that?’”

This lady has convinced herself that she was the butterfly that started the hurricane. Never mind all the work her "mediocre" student did to write research a paper and to revive a forgotten amendment. She was the prime mover cuz someone else gave a damn about the constitution.

That's the hubris of academia for you!

Heh - she didn’t even grade his paper - a student aide gave him the “C”. She “looked at” the paper (glanced?) and didn’t change anything - she didn’t DO anything. I hope she never taught again.

It would be like Judas taking credit for Christ's resurrection and salvation of the world. "Hey, if I hadn't have betrayed him....."
