It was a reaction paper. Give me your reaction to this article. It was not a research paper where you were expected to cite sources. This person’s reaction was inspired by the bible. They can be wrong, but doesn’t mean they didn’t follow the assignment.

Automatic 0 is insane. I have taken undergrad psychology courses in my day. Literally you get an A for effort. This professor was triggered and took it out on the student.

I wish the student had gone theory the appeal process before blowing it the fuck up. But it was obviously more important to get the attention than the grade.

My take, the whole thing is stupid. Everybody’s an asshole.

The instructions for the assignment said students were evaluated on three criteria: Does the paper show a clear tie-in to the assigned article? Does the paper present a thoughtful reaction or response to the article, rather than a summary? Is the paper clearly written?

She received 0 points. This wasn’t a graduate level psychology course. She was a junior. Honestly, the professor should be happy she wrote the paper herself instead of AI at that level. Based on the instructions (described in the link below), seemed like she did the assignment, but the professor just disagreed with her opinion and way overreacted. She got just as many points as if she didn’t even do the assignment. That is harsh.

Fulnecky emailed Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, OU’s president, the dean of her college, members of the media and Walters’ conservative anti-teachers’ union group fewer than four hours after her instructor justified Fulnecky’s grade. Four days later, Fulnecky went through the university’s internal process to file a formal discrimination complaint and an academic appeal.

But also, her reaction was to email the fucking governor and everybody else on god’s green earth. They have a grade appeal process, but her entitled ass went straight to the governor crying about discrimination. Just because you and your professor disagree on the validity of fairytales doesn’t make you some sad little victim. I’m tired of Christian’s, of all people, whining about discrimination. Freedom of religion doesn’t mean you should be allowed to push your BS fairytale onto other people and get praised for it. Appeal your grade and STFU.

Here’s another article with more details:

A real billionaire would have bought the rights and produced it themselves. See also The Expanse.

The real problem is with the people consuming the media. They would rather see the horse race polling than actual policies.

It all comes down to the political parties. Which is partly why our elections suck so much.

It would only work if they converted to a national vote, instead of state by state elections with individual ranked choice votes.

Then what is the media going to talk about for 6 months?

Surprised they didn’t settle like everybody else

It’s 2 years. Not permanent. Like his tax cuts to everybody expired after he left office. Except corporate tax cuts. Those were forever.

Or the end result will be worse for society.

Are you not entertained!

I think that’s fine, though. You don’t always need to see how the sausage is made. It’s only the fact they Trump is such an untrustworthy person that this is an issue. I trust Mamdani, though.

What good would have come from that? Trump would just go overboard with whatever fascist retaliation he can in order to compensate for his embarrassment.

I was thinking consultant for some shit corporation that she helped give tax breaks to while in office.

I’m sure it’s to go make more money being awful elsewhere.

Yeah, makes sense.

I had no idea they removed that. Dang.

It is an impractical standard. While I understand where you’re coming from, I think sometimes you need to allow people an opportunity to talk without every word being judged.

If the meeting is public, then it will never be a true conversation. It will be 2 people giving prepared statements in the form of a conversation.

Not every conversation needs to be public.

I guess I have no expectations for Trump to take anything positive away from this meeting.

But think in private he’s more likely to let Mamdani talk. In public it would just be a pissing contest for him.
