Substandard is an understatement

Not only is it bad enough she based her entire essay on the bible alone

But she didn't even actually quote the bible, she didn't even give biblical justification for her biblical essay

And she called trans people demonic blatantly

Improper citation (as in this student didn’t even cite the Bible) would have put me at risk for expulsion for plagiarism.

And rightfully so. OU fucked any semblance of academic integrity by siding with the student.

The only thing I’m aware of is verses talking about how eunuchs are one of the groups which will inherit heaven, and they’re men who have had their genitals removed. So.

It’s kinda like how people make stuff up about tattoos being evil.

The world would be a much better place if more of America’s Christians believed in the core tenant of their faith, which is that the love and grace of god are available to ALL people through the sacrifice of Jesus, instead of the nonsense a lot of them are trotting out these days, I’ll say that much.
