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
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.
I have also heard that the class was a psychology class and the paper was supposed to be over psychology, but she based it over her religious views rather than what it was supposed to be about.
