The OU Essay and the Christian Persecution Complex

On December 23rd, the University of Oklahoma announced that Mel Curth, the University of Oklahoma graduate assistant who failed a student whose essay described transgender people as "denomic," has been removed from her position. In a social media post, the University of Oklahoma posted that: "the University of Oklahoma believes strongly in both its faculty's rights to teach with academic freedom and integrity and its students' rights to receive an education that is free from a lecturer's impermissible evaluative standards. We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think."
