A UOK student claims she's the victim of religious discrimination because a psychology instructor gave her a zero for citing the Bible in her essay: “the lie that there are multiple genders is demonic.”

Let us now talk about the guns. We have debated whether Charlie Kirk was a martyr to Free Speech even as his followers want to silence any criticism. We have debated whether Kirk’s brand of hostile xenophobia and white christian nationalism attracted the very violence that led to his murder.
