Yeah, I read the essay and the grading standard. It was basically, show me you watched the thing, understood what it was talking about, and have an opinion.

This is untrue and you need to change it.

This means that a student can hand in any sort of vacuous poppycock they want as long as they say this is my religious belief the teacher has to give them a passing grade. Square roots are demonic so I don’t believe in the quadratic equation. Pass.

She did not even cite the bible, she referenced it. God mainstream media is so fucing dogshit

You suck. It was a psychology paper, ffs.

Well that was the incoherent ramblings of a crazy person passed off as the worst college essay since I straight up didn't understand my first college course at all

The student didn't "cite the Bible" she just wrote about her personal opinions which she claims are based in the Bible

If the student wrote that essay on a math test, would you understand what actually happened?

Hiding behind the Bible and she didn’t get that right either

Absurd

Anyways, fuck religion, back tax the churches.

"bible-based gender" because when Jesus washed the feet of the poor, he was doing a quick check under their skirts

It wasn't a "gender essay" – it was (supposed to be) a psychology essay. She did not include any psychology in it. She didn't follow the assignment.

University of Oklahoma can no longer call itself a seat of learning.

Falsely accused.

It's despicable that @cnn.com continues to try to frame the perpetrator as the victim and vice versa. It was a failing essay, the student is a fucking moron, and you railroaded a (vulnerable minority) educator for doing their job properly. Merry fucking Chistmas, assholes.

That's just it. She mentioned the Bible. But didn't cite it. She also failed to answer the question. Now can you address the real issue of god bothering idiots assuming authority that they shouldn't have. 1A gives freedom from religion too.

she literally did not cite anything at all, let alone the Bible

Unsurprising that modern day CNN reporters dont know what the word "cite" means.

And fuck the university siding with that crybaby Christian victim-complex turd

She didn't "cite" the Bible, and she didn't even try to do the assignment

Last I checked, even evangelicals believe in multiple genders.

Also, the girl admitted she didn't read the assignment. She's just a fraud and should be hounded about this for the rest of her life. I'm sure Bari Weiss will give her a job.

Makes me even angrier to read that this grifting asshole didn't even read the paper she was supposed to write about and whipped up her paper in 30 minutes to go hang out with her probably like minded asshole friends.

Why was she even taking psychology? She probably just thinks anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma are the product of demons. Doesn't sound like the kind of girl who would willingly expand her mind. Though I suppose psych is useful for Christian grifting - at which she seems to be adept.

Oklahoma’s not OK.

Biden take eggs Trump take genders

Alternate headline: "The University of Oklahoma decides to stop being a university and to become a HATEFUL 'church' instead" fixed it for ya

Burying the lede in the final paragraph. .

But what if they want you to study... while they are trans? Didn't think about that, did you?

Not the point, I know, but I love that this says “belief in multiple genders.” Ah, yes, we all know the one gender.

The student did not cite even the Bible. Just wrote crap.

"by a student WHO DID NOT DO THE REQUIRED READING..."

She actually didn’t cite the Bible, she used it without citation

I imagine the student body and faculty of the University of Oklahoma is super proud that their administration has burned their institution’s credibility to give Temu Riley Fifthplace a career in being a right-wing whiny child.

Because her parents are assholes and now she is one too. I hate maga people who fk up their kids.

Also, she did not cite the Bible. She merely referred to her personal beliefs, probably because if she had attempted to find Biblical citations to back up her bigotry she would have come up empty.

Cases like this DO happen. Students would likely be expected to go through the same training WE go though as to the law and civil rights acts (yeah it sound like weak sauce but you can’t force her to change). The grade may be sustained, definitely not ignored. They definitely wouldn’t fire … /1

Well...if you say absurd things, you should definitely fail the exam. You can't simply cite Star Wars of any other fiction story to get a pass...

Stop lying. She did not cite the bible. No legitimate citation was given. That's why she failed. I know that YOU, CNN reporter, know what a citation looks like. Do better reporting. 😡

she didn’t even properly cite the bible. her essay was a complete dumpster fire

Fucking disgraceful. Failing a student who does a terrible job should be the minimum. This is why we’re a country full of idiots.

CNN getting ready for the big Ellison takeover I see.

How about you report the actual news and not some right wing propaganda?

Shameful actions by that university

Do y’all get a little twinge of guilt when you call yourself journalists?

To be expected from Oklahoma.

Allows ppl to just say "the Bible" and pass a class

Without citing evidence.. 😆

😂 you're DELULU Enjoy your delusions

It is but watch the fall out either ou straightens up or faculty and student will transfer to sciencemtifuc based universities thus ou.looses $$$ and credibility which they started all by themselves

Oklahoma. Go figure.

Being intersex isn’t a third gender, or a gender at all. Neither it is a third sex per say it’s a spectrum between the standards of male/females sexes. Because sex isn’t binary it’s bimodale

She didn't cite the bible. She didn't cite anything. That was part of why she got such a low grade. But keep providing support for bigots.

Christian evangelicals really are trying to set it up so that you have to take whatever dumb shit they say seriously or risk losing your job.

Narrator: She did not “cite” anything

She could have taken issue with the premise of the assignment and still do the assignment, as an intellectual exercise.

Oklahoma's gonna Oklahoma...🙄 Southern Baptists are firmly in charge. Elsewhere in the state, residents are IRATE the possible building of a *gasp* Mosque. Glad I escaped.

she didn't even cite it! she just mentioned it! fundamental failings of the essay!

Wow CNN... Fuck you

Was wrongfully removed

🖕🙄🖕

There were no citations. She wrote "the bible says" & if you call that a citation, you need to get a new fucking job & quick. At minimum, citations would require, & you'd know this if you weren't shit at your job, book, chapter & verse, if you're using the bible, WHICH ISN'T AN ACADEMIC SOURCE!

This honestly just degrades whatever shred of dignity that Oklahoma had left. What a cesspool...

What do you think “cited” means?

Show me where in her paper she "cited the Bible." What was the citation?

Bollocks!

She didn't cite the Bible.

Call it what you want, but that's not a university. That paper she wrote wouldn't have passed as a high-school level submission.

This headline is wrong. She literally did not cite the Bible. She cited nothing. That was the point.

We all know she did not cite the bible.

how ridiculous. student should get a fucking F for this shit.

She did not cite the bible. Part of the grade was she failed to cite anything, period. Did you even read it?

Fact check: she did not in fact “[cite] the Bible” and indeed included no citations at all. Not even a quotation. Nothing in that essay even referenced the Bible. Do better.

There were no citations. I read the paper. It wouldn't have passed as an eighth grade English assignment, let alone a college essay.

This is such bullshit

yankee doodle taliban

It's shit either way. Unironically calling a concept "demonic" should get you flunked out of any educational establishment. That's deranged lunatic language.

She didn't cite anything but gibberish. Just like CNN has become in their reporting. All that spinning CNN, how do you focus?

She don’t cite the Bible. She didn’t cite anything.

If there aren't multiple genders, that means there's only one gender, which makes us all gay by definition

Lesson to professors: Adhere to the approved order.

lies. she did not properly cite anything in that essay

Can you please stop spreading the falsehood that she "cited" the bible? The whole point is that the paper *didn't have any citations*, in no small part because there's nothing in the bible about hating trans people

Her mom, Kristi Fulnecky, is a conservative lawyer known for defending Jan. 6th defendants The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the rotten tree

Your skeet says she "cited" the Bible. She did not. She referred to the Bible, but she did not cite it or any other source.

Rehire the instructor who was fired without cause and suspend the student

CNN having the audacity not to talk about how the essay was not even cited properly.

Well that’s a horrible and ignorant decision.

Easy hack to every current college student: make sure to say that whatever you write is a religious belief. If you get a bad grade for failing every single criteria, just say it's religious discrimination and that Jesus said you were right (no citations needed).

You are showing your whole ass when you leave out the fact that the instructor was transgender herself. Do fucking better, CNN.

Genesis 2:18 is the verse she almost, but did not, cite, only paraphrased. I would say, "Do better, CNN," but I'm a realist.

She cited nothing and didn't even read the assigned text, which is absolutely deserving of a failing grade. Perhaps you could contextualize this sort of story in a more reliable way next time?

Cite, as in citation. Cheers

Mental note: remember to laugh heartily at anyone who has a degree from this "university". Actually, I wonder if someone could initiate a class action suit based on them destroying any value in all those expensive degrees they've handed out over the years.

Of course, this would happen in Oklahoma. This happens in all GOP-led States that censor education. The Bible is a collection of ancient myths and legends. It is not history or psychology. The religious bigotry coming out of the right makes America positively medieval.

She didn't fucking "cite" anything. Read the essay.

What an absolute misrepresentation of what happened. Shameful.

Yes, I understand all of that, which is awful. But if the student’s point is, “I got a zero on something because I shared my opinion,” but that zero resulted in ::blowing dandelions into the wind:: _nothing_ she should have moved on, as it affected her not at all. You’re absolutely right.

This school is doing its alumni, and current students, a deep disservice.

This whole thing is bs from top to bottom: the transphobia, the sexism, the disregard for basic human freedom of being... And specially the pretense that that garbage could ever pass as a paper of any kind. At best we could call it a think piece, and it still barely touches the prompt of the essay.

Oklahoma is a hell hole filled with white supremacists and illiterate religious fanatics. I’m surprised they have universities.
