There is a student on tik tok that fully re wrote the OU essay with grounded in Christian ideology and biological essentialism, and properly cited her sources and did additional research. Best of of all she doesn't even agree with it.

So the issue was literally never religious discrimination it was that chick fully wrote a facebook post and turned it into as am academic paper. It's more than possibly to use Christian ideology and even The Bible academically but she didn't do that

I did this too to explain to my friends her stance and bible use wasn’t the issue she was [probably] just a victim of the literacy crisis and genuinely can’t write well and honestly thought that crap was good. Never posted it tho (even taught them how to do in text citations and full citation for the Bible in apa, which would be the expected standard for a psychology class)

She's a junior in college, and wrote an essay that was at a 5th grade level. She used "i think" statments, it was riddled logical fallacies, poor grammer, and contradictions to her own point. Based on her behavior after the fact i feel like this was planned to come after the TA. I just wish she at least wrote a decent essay but homegirl doesn't even speak properly.

It was an article response, so informal language was appropriate. It wasn’t a research piece or a bibliography. But I do think this is just the first widely known event as the victims of our failed literacy education from 20 years ago have reached higher education. Never taught how to really read, means she was never taught complex comprehension, and her writing will reflect that. Her work resembles that of a lot of students I worked with when I was at the writing center in the tutoring program

The media coverage was certainly planned as an attack on the class instructors, but I think her work was just picked, it wasn’t a purposeful choice she made to submit a bad paper. I really believe she thought it was her best work. This was what she was left capable of after leaving standard level education. She is simply the 54% of Americans that can’t read at or above an 6th grade level
