Univ. of Oklahoma punishes grad student for failing Christian student who didn't do the assignment - Friendly Atheist [View all]

Dec 26, 2025
Samantha Fulnecky, a conservative student at the University of Oklahoma, insisted she was a victim of religious discrimination after receiving a failing grade on a homework assignment for which she didn’t produce anything of value but referenced the Bible a whole bunch of times.

Now, the grad student TA who gave her that grade has been banned from teaching classes by the university. It's an utterly insane decision.
