The essay deserves a failing grade. It doesn’t tie to the assigned reading or engage its claims or evidence in any serious or sustained fashion; it just repeats the students’ pre-existing beliefs, and does so poorly. Even personal experience requires showing real engagement & no sign of that here.

TPUSA has been specifically targeting social science and humanities professors who are Black, LGTBQ, and women for two decades.
I would bet this student took this class, with this professor, at the direction of TPUSA to set up the prof to get targeted

I am so fortunate to be able to know many of these lesbians that cared for and loved the gay men who should still be with us today
Hearing their stories is heartbreaking but necessary and not that far in the past 💔

Ever wonder why the 'L' comes first in LGBTQIA+? It's a tribute to the lesbians who were on the frontlines during the AIDS crisis, fighting for the lives of gay men when so many others turned their backs.

Also, good work helping to whitewash this attack on academic freedom. This didn't happen in a vacuum, and it isn't some abstract law-school exercise. It's real people and real programs whose operations are now being dictated by the state's governor. Don't you think that bears mentioning?

I wonder if the essay had substituted a biblical defense of anti-Black racism if you'd be so open to the idea that the zero grade was "viewpoint discrimination." Are trans people somehow different? Nobody's humanity is open to question in any equitable and effective learning space.
