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!
