They also say that students’ rights are violated when a professor refuses to say that the US is built upon student land.
if it wasn’t for double standards, the left would have no standards at all. The left’s only real standard is forwarding the narrative and furthering theor cause. They otherwise have no core beliefs or principles.
The entire education system has been corrupted- from kindergarten all the way through college.
In her essay, Samantha Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be “detrimental” because that would put people “farther from God’s original plan for humans.”
She received a zero on the assignment, not because she didn’t conform to the rubric, but because she didn’t conform to the professor’s opinion. The assignment doesn’t even require the students to be on topic or to apply anything they’re learning from the curriculum to the topic, but rather just to have read and reacted to the article. The grading standard for the assignment was 25 points, based upon the following criteria:
The paper shows a clear tie in to the assigned article (10 points)
The paper shows a thoughtful reaction to the article, rather than just a summary of what it said (10 points)
That the paper was clearly written(5 points)
Here is the paper:
In my opinion, the student DID have a clear tie in, so 10 points there. I would have given probably 7 points on the thoughtful reaction, and perhaps a 2 out of 5 for the last point, because the paper was poorly organized and had some errors in punctuation and format, not to mention that she apparently doesn’t know what a paragraph is. Still, that would have been 19/25, or a 76%, which is solid C.
Ms. Fulnecky responded to the zero she received by filing a complaint for religious discrimination. The professor was suspended and the student’s grade was restored. As it should have been. She did the assignment, and should not be penalized for having an opinion that differed from the professor’s.
The professor gave her a low grade, but he was the one who made an error. I was a teacher for a few years, and I would occasionally give writing assignments just like this one. I would grade the papers based upon their use of logic, writing skill, and proper use of source material. I didn’t care which side of the issue the paper took, as long as it was well written. My mantra was that teachers are here to teach you HOW to think, but not to teach you WHAT to think. This professor isn’t doing that.
Look, the professor asked for a paper on students’ opinions. An opinion piece is just that- an opinion that isn’t based in facts. Some things just aren’t meant to be based upon facts. Some arguments are intractable – issues of personal taste or the subjective importance of certain values cannot be resolved empirically. In an argument like that, once both sides have expressed themselves as clearly as possible, if there is still no agreement then there is nothing left to do but acknowledge there is a disagreement, and leave it at that.
If I am holding a flamethrower and you are holding a lit match, it is true that we can both start fires, but pretending that we can just “agree to disagree” about which is better suited to the task of lighting a candle is nonsense. Had this student made such an argument, she would have been wrong, and deserved the grade she received.
In this case, you are asking students to argue about whether or not we should eliminate the position that a person born with DNA and genitals of a particular sex can be whatever sex or gender that they choose, not just forever, but changing on a day to day basis based upon that person’s feelings on that particular moment. Then you are asking them to apply logic to this, but only the logic of which you personally approve.
Kaura Taylor, woman from the US has moved to the woods outside of Edinburgh, Scotland and is now living with a Ghanan man whose real name is Kofi Offeh but goes by the name of King Atehehe. He claims to be the king of a lost African tribe that he alleges was illegally ousted from Scotland in 1590. The entire tribe consists of the “king,” his wife the “queen,” and Kaura, who claims to be the queen’s handmaiden.
Offeh is a 36-year-old former opera singer from Ghana, but claims he is the messiah and a descendant of the biblical King David, with he and his wife referring to each other as King Atehehe and Queen Nandi. They claimed to be living in a mystical kingdom called Kubala, but the reality is that it was a muddy patch of land on the outskirts of Jedburgh, where the “tribe” was living in what is essentially a homeless camp in tents and folding chairs.
They have since been evicted. Social services have since removed Kaura’s (who now goes by the name of Asnat) child from her. What ever happened to the old Scottish and British custom of running Moors through with a sword?
Imagine if you will, someone fills out a form and drops it off at your child’s school. That form lets the school know that the person named on the form is a “nonrelative extended family member,” and has all of the same rights as a parent. They can authorize medical care, and even pick your child up from school.
You would think that such a form would require that the person filling it out present some form of identification, but you would be wrong. You would think that school officials would be required to contact the actual parents of the child to make sure that the person is actually on the up and up, but that also isn’t the case. The only protection in place is a statement printed upon the form, notifying the person filling it out that all statements made on the form are true and correct, upon penalty of perjury.
The left has taken the old saying “It takes a village to raise a child” to heart. Melissa Calhoun was a teacher who took to calling a child by their chosen name– that is, calling a child by a name that doesn’t correspond to their gender. (The child was unidentified due to privacy concerns) It’s been the law in Florida since 2023 that teachers cannot use any name for a child that isn’t the child’s legal name, unless they have written permission from the child’s parent. (Critics call it the “Don’t Say Gay” law) The child’s parent complained about Calhoun, and the she was fired as a result.
People who live in the area supported that teacher, who claims that she didn’t know about the law. Fifty people came out to support her. Fifty? I can draw more people than that for any number of causes. Despite the state law, the state board of education decided to reinstate her license. Parents don’t matter. The gay and leftist agenda is all that matters. They are grooming your children.
The local press has been criticizing police for their response on this call. Just out of curiosity, how do they think police should respond to a naked man armed with a gun that is charging at them? Do they really believe that such a person can be reasoned with, if only someone who specializes in mental health can talk to them?
Openly Gay Democrat Washington State Senator Jamie Pedersen:
Kids over 13 have the complete right to make their own decisions about their mental health care. Parents don’t have a right to have notice… If they’re old enough to get pregnant, they’re old enough to make their own decisions about what happens with their bodies. And parents do not have the right to change that or make a different decision or be notified in advance.
So once a 13 year old hits puberty, they should also be able to buy liquor, guns, and have sex with openly gay State Senators, is that what you are saying?
