An OU student says a failing grade on her essay citing the Bible violated her free speech rights. Instructors said the essay lacked empirical evidence.

This is a huge meltdown in conservative circles, and considering how spineless the OU administration is, they’ll probably end up nixing the professor. They are currently working on getting rid of the African American studies department as is.

    It’s difficult to judge Fulnecky’s situation without knowing the full facts and internal operations within her psychology course, Shibley explained, which is an example of how difficult things can get when politics become involved in the academic process.

    Best quote from the article. Honestly it seems like the professor and the student are both way overreacting and more concerned about politics than what each other is even saying. She said an idea was demonic he accused her of calling half the population demonic. He said she missed 1 of the 3 criteria and to 0 out of 25, she blew up and emailed the governor in response to her grade.

    This is one of those cases that’ll end up at the SCOTUS and they’ll rule on something only vaguely related to force Bibles to be used in all academic papers.
