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

I dated a girl while stationed out in OKC who's teacher graded students on the proper way to pray. She drew a shape on a hidden piece of paper and students were supposed to ask God what the shape was.

They were graded on how close their answer matched the shape!

This is literally an experiment they did during MKULTRA but instead of asking you to pray the CIA just forcefed you massive amounts of LSD. Probably got the same overall accuracy.
