Screw that „university“. I hope Curth gets a better job.
Well shit, now I want to send my kids to Oklahoma for college, tell them to write „God doesn’t support demonic calculus“ on their math papers, and graduate with 4.0s in engineering so they can go on to design bridges and buildings that God will keep standing.
I didn’t know I could just put god for every answer and force the uni to pass me back when I was in school. Probably because I’m a black male, the world doesn’t fall over itself to appease me quite like for good enough looking illiterates like fulnecky
Please, anyone, everyone, read the essay. It literally doesn’t have a proper claim. There’s no evidence. It’s self contradictory, explicit, and it would flunk out of grade school. It’s clearly a setup. The girl’s mother is a Republican lawyer. The “university” sent out a statement within an hour. The governor weighed in
Remember she didn’t cite the bible. She didn’t cite anything, all she said is god did things. If she had cited chapter and verse she might have received some credit.
Oh, so what they’re saying is degrees from Oklahoma University are worth less than the paper they’re printed on?
„Sir, your interviews are waiting. The OU grad and the University of Phoenix grad.“
„Ugggg…. Fire the recruiter, tell the OU grad to go home, I don’t have time for his shit.“
Yeah this is definitely a setup
psychology essay, by the way. zero sources. zero evidence. not an iota of reasoning. there isn’t a single ideology that should support this. republicans hate science and they hate logic.
I set my expectations low before reading the essay and still was laughing in disbelief that a real person submitted this in an academic setting. Can’t wait until she inevitably becomes a nurse
Wait a damn minute. My professor told me he’d deduct points for not using proper APA format and it had to be APA 7.
You mean in Oklahoma I can turn in papers without references at all?
Charlie Kirks group is behind this too. Pulling stunts to try and boost their numbers , because trotting out the crisis actor wifey isn’t cutting it .
If I may quote the bible: “Just use chatGPT and you’ll get at least a C”
She argues that anything but traditional gender roles are harmful and somehow is in university. Like, if we’re getting traditional here, shouldn’t she be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen making some man a sandwich?
This was orchestrated 100% for the grift.
Given how loud the student and her mother are yelling on social media about her horrible essay, it’s hard not to think this is both a grift with the goal of getting in on that TPUSA cash and trying to contribute to the GOP’s goal of marginalizing the trans community out of existence. It’s freaking disgusting and OU should’ve stood up for the instructor once it became clear that’s what was going on.
That student deserves that F.
The ease with which journalism, the military, and higher ed have capitulated to the fascist takeover of this nation is EXTREMELY troubling. All three are important checks on our democracy and without them staying on the side of democracy and the people and playing their proper roles in the protection of us and our system of government, we are doomed.
i need everyone to go read that paper, because it’s utterly baffling how she even made it into university. being very generous, it’s at a tenth grade level of writing. it also really helps you feel better about your own intelligence and writing abilities
Per her own beliefs she should quit school. Her calling is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
It’s insane to me that the right will turn a shitty essay into a first amendment issue 🤦🏼♀️
Suspend a teacher for this? And governor getting involved? Really? A fucking essay?
“does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive.”
So, MAGAspeak…
It’s discrimination, if the instructor hadn’t been trans, then they’d have nothing to go on; instead their “persecution complex” flips the perpetrator into believing that they are the victim here. Wrote a bad paper, got a zero, #FAFO. OU failing to stand up for the instructor will be yet another #FAFO, who except for Bible thumpers will want to go there now?
At this point in time, the University needs to have its accreditation reviewed thoroughly.
It’s so funny that they argue about meritocracy and not coddling soft college snow flakes, but pull things like this. They know they’re hypocrites and they are so craven for a “rules for thee, but not me” in all walks of life, including free speech.
Teachers have to be able to grade assignments without it making national news. The instructor should be hired back, and the student be barred from the University forever. For this debacle. And then stand up for the instructor and their work. I saw the feedback of the assignment. It was standard teacher talk and criticism. This is attacks on academia, education, and trying to degrade our educational system. No. Piss off.
I teach HS and once or twice I’ve had a student just put „Jesus“ on everything. Ya know, a joke as in „Jesus is the answer.“ I’d fail the assignment, have a chuckle, and move on.
It’s terrifying we’re now in a world where that student could drag me over the coals for this behavior which I don’t see as much different from what happened here. They failed to respond to the prompt as instructed, they ought to fail the assignment. Instructions are instructions to be followed on an assignment.
