Oklahoma University Trans Instructor Fired for Failing Christian Student’s Essay on Gender
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 23, 2025 | Margaret Flavin

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky, a Christian, received a zero grade from transgender teaching assistant Mel Curth for not upholding a woke narrative for a paper on gender stereotypes.

Initially, the University removed Curth from the classroom. On Monday, they announced that Curth “will no longer have instructional duties at the University.”

“A student’s claim of religious discrimination on an individual assignment in an online Psychology Course taught by a graduate teaching assistant has come to resolution.”

“As stated previously, the student followed two available processes at the University: the grade appeals process in the college and she made a formal claim of illegal religious discrimination.”

“As already announced, the grade appeal was decided in favor of the student, removing the assignment completely from the student’s total point value of the class, resulting in no academic harm to the student.”

“The claim for discrimination has been investigated and concluded. The University does not release findings from such investigations.”

“At the same time of the investigation, the Provost-the University’s highest ranking academic officer— and the academic Dean reviewed the full facts of the matter.”

“Based on an examination of the graduate teaching assistant’s prior grading standards and patterns, as well as the graduate teaching assistant’s own statements related to this matter, it was determined that the graduate teaching assistant was arbitrary in the grading of this specific paper.”

“The graduate teaching assistant will no longer have instructional duties at the University.”

For the assignment, Fulnecky was asked to write a 650-word essay reacting to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender.

As Turning Point USA’s OU chapter noted, in her essay, “Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be “detrimental” because that would put people ‘farther from God’s original plan for humans.’”

She received zero points out of 25 on the essay. Curth said Ms. Fulnecky, “failed to use empirical evidence” and called parts of her essay “offensive.”

Republican Oklahoma State Representative Gabe Woolley, who publicly supported Fulnecky, received violent threats for coming to the student’s defense.

He shared the audio of one disturbing message, which stated, “Hi, this is a message for Rep. Gabe Woolley. Could you please pass this message on to him? Tell him to put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger for all of our sakes. Thank you. Bye.”

In 1961 my world government teacher assigned a semester project to us: Write a paper on a country that will be significant to the US in the next 10 years. Include politics, history, economics, culture.

I wrote on S Vietnam. My world government teacher gave me a D- and said I should have chosen Cuba or one of the emerging countries in Africa or Latin America.

““The graduate teaching assistant will no longer have instructional duties at the University.””

Jokes on us. He will still collect a paycheck for BS grad level “assisting” in some other capacity to keep him quiet.
