A University of Oklahoma student’s final grade won’t be affected after she controversially flunked a Bible-based essay on gender that was assigned by a trans instructor — triggering widespread backlash.
Samantha Fulnecky, 20, filed a discrimination complaint with the school last week after she was given an F for arguing in her psychology class paper that “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.”
The school has since revealed the failing grade will have no bearing on Fulnecky’s academic standing after the course’s professor, Mel Curth, was placed on leave and administrators launched a probe into the junior’s complaint.
For the assignment, Curth — a transgender grad student who uses “she/they” pronouns — had asked students to pen a 650-word response to an academic article that weighed whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.

It takes just one person to stand up to evil. lets all go forth and do likewise.
The instructor noted that they failed the psych major on the grounds that she neglected to address the prompt and relied more on “personal ideology” than “empirical evidence.”
The feedback and failing grade ignited a viral firestorm after the school’s chapter of Turning Point USA blasted out the news on social media.
Well said.
LOL

When you see THAT as your prof, drop the course immediately!

I know 😁
Same here!
Looks the part.
Maybe you should read the essay. It truly is godawful.
The assignment was to read an article called “Relations among gender typicality, peer relations, and mental health during early adolescence” and write a reaction paper.
Her essay does not engage with the article at all (you wonder if she even read it), does not cite any sources, doesn’t show any analytical aptitude and reads like something a middle schooler would write.
Her professor may be biased, but you definitely don’t need to be to fail her.
Looks like an 80s soft-rock singer who hasn’t been touring for a couple of years while doing studio work.
Anyone else think he looks like Flounder from Animal House?
Link? Because you seem to be citing what another student claimed about the paper.
Also, she failed her with a zero where a 65 was passing, thus making it impossible for her to achieve a passing grade no matter how perfect the rest of her coursework was. Nobody gets a zero on a completed college essay. She could’ve had the intelligibility of 70s stoner rock lyrics and gotten a 50.
I’ve read the essay. It lacked (to put it kindly) academic merit. It was not supposed to be a paper on apologetics. The very least she should have done if she wanted to base her reaction to the source material on Scripture was to include verses on gender to show how this has anchored society’s perception on there being a clear division of two (not 2 not 20 not 50) genders.
The professor’s answer did show her personal bias however the essay should not have been given a passing grade because it did indeed fail to provide sources. However, there was one very important point made in that reply and that is the unfortunate fact that the social sciences now all agree (wrongly) that gender is not fixed or binary. Which means if the student is majoring in any of those sciences she has chosen the wrong uni to attend because any defense against that idea whether religion based or not will be met with either disdain or outright hostility. It will also mean an uphill battle when she is graduated to put her beliefs into active practice.
She needs to find a college that affirms her values while holding her to academic standards.
Maybe you could post a copy of it as I can’t seem to find it.
