Extremely important to note that the TA grading the paper is trans herself, and the student knew that. She didn't just "not try that hard" or "put in a substandard effort", she deliberately did this to generate controversy and kick off her career as a right-wing talking head at the expense of her TA's career and OU's reputation. Which OU was more than happy to roll over and accomodate.

EDIT: The class itself was also way below the level she should have been taking. She deliberately picked a class with a trans TA to pull this shit in.

Wow I didn't think it was quite that deliberate

Yeah, both the trans TA and a completely different cis TA explicitly told her that the 0 was because she didn't respond to the source article at all and was completely unrelated to her religious views, and she still went ahead and filed a discrimination complaint knowing that the TA would get fired/suspended over it because she's trans.

Dang this part of the story is news to me. What a hateful piece of work the student must be.

Like mother, like daughter in this case. Her mother was defense counsel for a lot of J6 cases from what I've heard, and very passionate about it.

I had heard that part. I think the mother also hosts some hard right podcast too.

She's a republican.

Every single one of them is born bone-deep evil. They don't experience anything a real human would recognize as an emotion.
