    Oh, FFS.

    The grievance industry has definitely latched onto this shit. Meanwhile, her mom…

    “And as an attorney, she has defended two people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.”

    Oh, so this bullshit about fake victimhood and DARVO tomfoolery definitely runs in the family.

    I watched a video where Hasan Piker goes over this essay and it’s even dumber than you think…

        I mean this essay is so bad, even by bible-banger standards…it very much does seem like a setup - do a fantastically big bellyflop on your assignment, but mention Jesus. Get a low grade for it…then go running to the grievance industry.

        It looks like the grift is already beginning, too.

    It was a hit job. Her mother is lawyer. She took this class and submitted this paperto start a shitshow and use it to attack a trans teacher. It worked perfectly, they won. Two teachers are now suspended and the entire education system was pushed a little bit further to the right. It’s crazy how easy it is.

    The assignment called for students to write a clear and thoughtful 650 word response to a scholarly article about gender expectations in society. According to screenshots shared by Turning Point USA’s local chapter, Fulnecky wrote in her essay that the article irritated her, and described how God created men and women differently. “Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth,” she wrote.

    Mel Curth, a graduate teaching assistant, wrote as part of the grading process that she had deducted points because Fulnecky submitted a “paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive,” according to the screenshots of her messages.

    Quotes and links are directly from the article.

    It appears to me that the student did not complete the assignment according to the instructions. Rather, she attempted to generally contrast the conclusions of gender studies with the Bible. Although, personally, I might have thrown in a few points for word count, spacing, and completion which is more than some students are capable of.

    It’s pretty disturbing how deliberately and blindly obtuse people become when given the opportunity to cheer for their team.

      This is a mistake that should surface and get corrected in high school or earlier if the education system is working properly. Around 14 I bombed a writing assignment because my response was all personal feelings rather than reasoning and evidence. My teacher told me he agreed with me personally, but I did not actually complete the assignment as asked. I never did that again. Though I am not entirely convinced this wasn’t deliberate to create a culture war story.

      Her only source was the Bible, and she didn’t even cite that properly. The instructor who set the essay concurred with the TA’s assessment, and then the school suspended both of them for doing their jobs properly.
