to expound on that. we're talking about a junior in a psychology major. It's a science heavy major.

She should know how to:

  • cite sources
  • Discern good sources from bad.
  • understand that the bible is not a good source for psychology.
  • know how to right a fucking essay and answer the question that was being asked.

There were all of two sentences relating to the article which she was supposed to talk about. Those two sentences were basically "I disagree with this article".

Her only source- if you want to call it a source- was the bible. But she didn't even bother cite specific parts of the bible, just waxed inelegantly about "traditional" gender norms and insisting that bullying people because they weren't cisgendered is good. (which is what the article was about, IIRC, bullying of noncis kids in middleschool.)

(for people interested, Forest Valkai has a good break down on the essay, and why she failed

    OU offers both a BA and a BS in psychology, so she might be on the less science-heavy track

    That’s an essay I would have been failed for in high school. A ba in psych is still going to be science heavy.

    The teachers were right to fail her and it’s pretty clear that OU is punishing them anyways.

    Because the student is a crisis actor who ran to Turing Point to pretend she was some how persecuted for her beliefs.
