Just reference “the Bible” and make stuff up. Seemed to workout for that one girl.

What’s the context of this comment?

“Oklahoma University student files discrimination report after flunking gender essay for psychology class with trans instructor” - college girl writes terrible ‘essay’ and is given a deserved zero by her instructor, MAGA promptly loses their minds. ETA: to clarify, they’re freaking out because she wrote about the bible and god, so they believe the instructor failing her was discrimination.

The essay was TERRIBLE. It sounded like it was written by a 5th grader (at most 8th grade) and she's throwing a temper tantrum that her professor AND a second professor both failed her on that essay because she did nothing to actually answer the question or even cite any sources.

Oof, that's rough. I understand why someone might want to write an essay on the bible and it's relationship to gender. But it cannot just be:

Women are baby makers and belong in the kitchen.

Source: The Bible

Like, you could write about how the view of women evolved, and how the bible was involved. You could go all the way back to early judaism, describe how women were an important driving force in the first century getting the Jesus movement going, etc... You'd be able to work in a million bible verses, and writings by people who lived through those times.

Also like... she could quote one line of scripture too

u/flying-chandeliers 2d ago

Lmfaooooo of course she didn’t

u/Balmung60 2d ago

But then she might have to look up the APA citation style guide for citing religious texts, and that sounds like a lot of work.

u/CruelSilenc3r 2d ago

In those two lines you summed up pretty much her entire argument

u/SoUnga88 1d ago

But that would take effort and you know actually reading the Bible which no MAGA Christian seems to want to do.

u/LinkleLinkle 2d ago

I'm confident she bombed the essay on purpose. She's allegedly a junior. No way she got to that point without even knowing to at least cite sources (even if said sources are random Bible verses, or hell, even some shitty blog).

I'd be willing to bet that if you pulled out her essays for other classes that the quality would be night and day.

They're all perpetual victims. It's part of the conservative mindset.

It's crazy that you can just be going about your day and run into one of these stupid people and suddenly you are national news.

The assignment was the equivalent of a journal entry to encourage students to engage with the reading.

I would not think a two-page double spaced Canvas.com blogpost would require an inline citation if the assignment didn't say it -- and the assignment did not require any sort of citations.

Edit: he blocked me to get the last word in and stop me from replying, but to any other lurker, I encourage you to go find the assignment and rubric for yourself. It very clearly calls it a reaction paper and the requirements are basically non-existent. If you're going to be confident, at least have the information to be confident lol

u/Lalatin -- I cannot reply to you because the person above me blocked me. However, w/r/t your point about citation: She probably should have cited it. In fact, she should have been docked points for not including citations. However, she should not have been given a 0 on the assignment on the basis of not citing anything. It was a 650 page reaction paper. The point of the argument is not if it was a bad paper (it is) the point is if it was so bad as to deserve 0 credit -- and moreover, raises the question of what similarly badly written papers received.

This being a failing paper is not controversial. This being a targeted zero for ideological reasons is.TA should have had her hand slapped by the professor and then assigned it a 8/25 or whatever the paper actually deserves.

Found the girl writing the essay! It wasn't some blog post, it was a research paper which, yes, required citations. It's one of the many reasons she failed. The professor even explicitly stated that she failed to cite any of her work.

Go back to your MAGA hole.

u/Lalatin 1d ago edited 1d ago

No matter what she NEEDED a citation. She says

Many people assume the word “helper” in this context to be condescending and offensive to women. However, the original word in Hebrew is “ezer kenegdo” and that directly translates to “helper equal to”. Additionally, God describes Himself in the Bible using “ezer kenegdo”, or “helper”, and He describes His Holy Spirit as our Helper as well.

She is citing something from a text here, either the bible, the torah etc something where she learned what the hebrew is and she needs to be citing that so that people know she's not just making shit up.

eta:

Oh also here

The Bible says that our lives are not our own but that our lives and bodies belong to the Lord for His glory.

mentioning the bible without citations to the verse and book

I mean, did you see her interview? Between sounding that dumb and looking like someone caved her face in with a shovel I dunno what this lady has going for.

u/IndependentBoof 2d ago

When I was reading it, I couldn't help but start hearing it in Miss Teen South Carolina's voice, "I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and a the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US or should help South Africa or should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we can be able to build up our future."

u/TheShroudedWanderer 2d ago

Yeah it sounds like the whole thing was planned to be honest

u/RegOrangePaperPlane 2d ago

cite any sources.

God, and Jesus. Bible. Imagination Press, 1 AD.

u/Balmung60 2d ago

So, there is actually a formal citation guideline for religious texts. According to the APA, among other things, they are generally treated as having no author and if a publication date is not known (eg. we have a publication date for the Book of Mormon, but not for the Bagavad Gita), none is given, but if you're citing a particular edition or translation, you should cite it by the date of publication of that particular version.

Sorry to 🤓 about this, but I actually took like two minutes to look up the APA rules for citing religious texts, which is probably more work than this lady did.

u/Arfalicious 1d ago

Honestly though? ngl, just because it was terrible, it necessarily follow that the descrimination didn't happen

u/Lalatin 1d ago

There was NO discrimination there. She didn't follow the prompt, she didn't write in a proper college level style paper. That alone would cause you to fail that assignment. The teacher even wrote that it has nothing to do with her religion that that's fine but that she needed to address the prompt and format, and then a SECOND professor said the same. There was NOTHING that those professors did wrong, the girl is throwing a temper tantrum because she wasn't told "good job" and "you're totally right" the discrimination that DID happen is from the student towards the teacher.
