I've seen this story, and it's ridiculous. The paper wasn't graded poorly because of its religious content, it was given a zero automatically because it was a response to an article that cited absolutely zero sources, including the article that it was supposedly responding to.

I’ve read the paper and it is indeed garbage. However, I’ve also read the rubric, and per the rubric it should not have been a zero. The student write mostly coherently and had somewhat of an argument, and was clearly responding to a prompt about a personal response to the article. I think the grader is overstepping here. But, we don’t know any further context on if this has been something ongoing and student has been warned before, or something else.

What does strike me as very odd is that there are ZERO citations in the paper.

This was being discussed elsewhere but it seems to warrant a low grade (or very low grade) and a conversation instead of a zero.

Would that have avoided the entire controversy? Who knows. The culture wars are everywhere any more and neoliberalization of education turns it into a commodity of certification instead of places of learning.

No, I know. If it didn't happen here, she would've kept trying. She's an instigator... Her essay wasn't just fundamentalist Christian, it was full of straight up bigotry. Go read it if you don't believe me... This was written to be offensive

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky is going viral again after her mother's identity was revealed. Her mother, Kristi Fulnecky, was a politician in Springfield, and she was forced to step down due to multiple lawsuits.

In 2017, two tax liens were filed against Kristi, but she claimed they were errors by the IRS. During the pandemic, she sued the Springfield and the city of Branson for pushing the mask mandate.

Samantha Fulnecky's mother also sued the Springfield Public Schools over its reopening plan, demanding five days of in-person attendance for students. She has also made headlines for her online behavior, from threatening a police chief to blocking and sending legal letters to private citizens.

She comes from a long line of Karens, of course the first thing she does as an adult is stir up shit and play the victim

She also defended Jan 6 insurrectionists.
