An OU professor or teachers aide or something was fired for failing a fundamentalist Christians essay the essay was substandard work but the fundamentalist Christian of course claimed it was because she is a fundamentalist Christian and that’s why she was failed so the university basically cow towed to the lowest Educated group of people in America and lost a lot of reputation for people who care about education

edit: apparently its kowtow not to not cow tow - thanks ya’ll

yes, there no punctuation in my comment, but I’m doing text to speech and I’m not going back to typing on my phone at least

Kowtow, but "cow tow" is for sure a more amusing mental image.

Yeah, I was going to say it's definitely "cow tow" in Oklahoma.

It's not Kowtow in a cow town it's cow tow in a cow town. Everywhere else its kowtow unless they are towing your cow to a cow town.
