I'm not against the idea of deducting points for bringing theology into what is supposed to be a social science paper, but you know your thread is just an open invitation for the crowd here to mock your Russian Literature (or Language, don't remember which) degree.Blackvegetable » 25 Dec 2025, 7:56 am » wrote: ↑ https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-tea ... ible-essay
Oklahoma teaching assistant fired after uproar over flunking Christian student who referenced Bible in essay
The teaching assistant tasked Fulnecky and her classmates with writing a response to a scholarly article titled "Relations Among Gender Typicality, Peer Relations, and Mental Health During Early Adolescence," which discusses results of a study about gender norms among middle schoolers and the social ramifications children may face for not conforming to gender norms.
They were asked to provide a "thoughtful discussion of some aspect of the article." The rubric for the assignment did not require students to provide empirical evidence in their responses.
The third-year student responded by saying that gender norms should be celebrated, not denigrated. She cited Genesis, the first book of the Bible, in which God created men and women equally, but with separate purposes. "Gender roles and tendencies should not be considered 'stereotypes,'" Fulnecky wrote in 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. He intentionally created women differently than men and we should live our lives with that in mind."
She later described the societal push toward nonbinary gender identification as "demonic."
It's G*d's work...
I best graduate cum Loudly....
The rubric for the assignment did not require students to provide empirical evidence in their responses.
Nor did it labor punctuation or syntax....
