Oklahoma student flunked by TA after touting Christian beliefs in gender essay, directs others to ‘push back’

Samantha Fulnecky is a junior pre-med student at the Sooner State's flagship university.
"I was asked to read an article and give my opinion on the article, and the article was about gender binary and mental health and gender stereotypes, specifically in children, because it's a lifespan development class," Fulnecky told Fox News Digital. "So I was asked to give my opinion and my reaction to the paper."

"So I did this assignment the same as I would any other in that class, gave my opinion on gender binary and gender stereotypes and that, naturally my views are from the Bible and my Christian kind of worldview," she said. "And so that's what I wrote about and I didn't think anything of it."

"Gender roles and tendencies should not be considered 'stereotypes,'" her essay continued. "Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men. God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty. He intentionally created women differently than men and we should live our lives with that in mind."

I’m glad she was not ashamed of believing the Bible and standing firm on her Faith. Praise the Lord!

I see that the TA has been suspended while the university investigates.

Perhaps the TA will follow in the pattern of Paul

if the assignment was to write about her opinion and reaction to the article, how could any response be given a zero. She has a right to her opinion regardless of the TA's beliefs. There may be a disconnect on the instructions for the assignment, or the TA should be reprimanded. An opinion is exactly that.

University says trans-identified instructor who flunked Christian student no longer has teaching duties​

The University of Oklahoma has announced that a trans-identified graduate assistant who gave a Christian student a failing grade for writing an assignment that criticized gender ideology no longer has teaching duties.

The university released a statement on Monday explaining that an unnamed graduate teaching assistant will “no longer have instructional duties” following the grading incident.

The Norman-based school garnered widespread attention late last month when junior Samantha Fulnecky received a zero on an essay assignment on gender issues from graduate teaching assistant William "Mel" Curth, reportedly because of her religious views on the subject.

"The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms," the school stated late last month.

"Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter."
