Christians love doing stuff like this and making such a person the face of their religion then turn around and get mad when they're (correctly) seen as insufferable.
Some of the same people upset a Muslim man is poised to be the mayor of New York. But sure, they give AF about supposed "religious discrimination".
Let my Black behind have thrown a fit like this and I'm sure the same crowd supporting this girl would be telling me to sit my DEI ass down.
hey so i read part of the student's essay and i want to add a few things:
it was a 0 out of 25 points. that's not even a huge deal.
she only wrote 650 words.
the girl didn't do the actual assignment; she just wrote what she felt like and submitted it.
the class was a PSYCHOLOGY course yet her essay was about her religious beliefs and provided no citations or psychological basis. she simply insisted her argument was true because the bible supposedly says so.
her entire essay is a mindless rant about how strict gender roles must be upheld and trans people are "demonic"
her writing—and i cannot stress this enough—is on par with that of a child who doesn't want to do an assignment. it's so bad i genuinely thought i was reading a satire article.
the student is a fucking college JUNIOR writing like a 10-year-old. she is also a psychology MAJOR who thinks everything in the bible is literal and that her religion is the only source anyone needs. this is someone who intends to go into mental health care. she is dangerously bigoted and ignorant, and her professor saw this and was punished for grading accordingly.
here's a line from her essay:
"Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men. God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty."
here's her teacher's reasoning for the grade:
“[I am] not deducting points because you have certain beliefs" but rather because the paper "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."
the girl is a hate-filled bigot. she is a white christian girl who is now being championed by fox news and turning point usa while her professor sits on fucking forced leave. this is disgusting.
important edit: i have just learned the professor is trans. this hateful brat is actively trying to destroy a trans person's life.
Reading the feedback of the teacher as well as the co-teacher, they calmly explained their reasoning for the 0 grade in a way that repeatedly said this girl was allowed to think what she believed, but that this paper simply could not be considered a completion of the assignment.
The fact that this teacher was put on suspension for failing a student who did not even meet the assignment and went out of her way to say the girl was allowed to believe what she believed is absolutely galling. This is an educational institution, and the fact that they are even considering disciplinary action against this teacher for attempting to teach?? Appalling. Absolutely beyond parody that this is where we are in this country.
I feel the need to point out the following:
1. The teacher who has been suspended is transgender.
2. Multiple teachers in the faculty room marked the paper. Only the transgender teacher has been suspended.
3. The student in question broke this story through the incredibly transphobic organisation Turning Point USA.
4. The student's mother has been posting hideously transphobic things on right-wing social media.
This isn't just conservative anti-intellectualism. This is weaponised, targeted transphobia.
this assignment was deliberately written to get a 0 so that the student could get their trans instructor fired and spin this entire incident into their own Riley Gaines moment.
it's a completely transparent, premeditated attack on a trans woman for personal profit and political hay.

Do not waste your tears over fascists. "He was somebody's this, he was somebody's that". Michael Brown was someone's son, and so was Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Emmett Till. Sandra Bland was someone's daughter, and so was Breonna Taylor, while she slept. Sonya Massey, too, was someone's baby girl. Latasha Harlins was someone's baby. Martin Luther King Jr was somebody's son, husband and father, and yet the FBI killed him. Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba. Hind Rajab, someone's baby. Khaled Nabhan, and his granddaughter, soul of his soul. Refaat Alareer. And on and on and on, every martyr, every Black and Palestinian person whose been told over and over again how cheap our blood is, how NOTHING our life is. I do not weep over the death of white supremacist, I fucking cheer. One less of them means a Black or brown child can live another day.
