people who are taking issue with how the instructor handled this student’s (imo unacceptable) submission are missing the point entirely. revise and resubmit? give a low nonzero grade? why think any of *those* responses wouldn’t have sent the libsoftiktok machine in motion too?
having assigned reaction papers in many of my classes i look at this student’s essay and cannot glean what the content of the original assigned reading was, nor do i see how a reference to the Genesis creation story illuminates the argument of that assigned reading. I would have rejected this paper.
This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

Anyway last thing I’ll say on this is that I got my shit rocked all the time in college and I never cried to the media. TPUSA is their own concept of DEI for aggrieved white evangelical pussies and the fact that any group disproportionately wields this much power on campuses is fucking dumb

Further evidence that the ruling classes have decided the best path forward for them are manufactured mass death events to lower our population. They've decided it's us or them, and in so doing, have made that true.

Strongly agree
I don’t consider it religious free speech to call lgbt people demonic and if it is then I don’t care about free speech and believe that kind of speech should be actively suppressed in a just society

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

For World AIDS Day 2025: the stigma of HIV & AIDS was so strong that many avoided talking about their diagnosis until their final days.

In other cases, the families kept the secret for decades after.

Freddie Mercury, Liberace, Rock Hudson, Gia Carangi, Anthony Perkins... and Isaac Asimov.
In 1983, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov had triple bypass surgery at NYU Medical Center, during which he contracted HIV from transfusions.

His doctors advised him not to disclose his status because of anti-AIDS sentiment.

He died 1992 from AIDS-related complications.

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there.

They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did.

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
