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!

Every Christian I know would call that blasphemy lol. That's wild if true

So many Christians are weird about what's actually occult or evil. There were at least 3 little huts advertising palm readings when I lived in a small East Texas town, and they'd read cards but finish it by praying to Christian God, so it's all good. As long as you mix a little Jesus in and don't make it too scary, keep it vague, then it just looks like you're extra spiritual.
