It was a hit job. Her mother is lawyer. She took this class and submitted this paperto start a shitshow and use it to attack a trans teacher. It worked perfectly, they won. Two teachers are now suspended and the entire education system was pushed a little bit further to the right. It’s crazy how easy it is.
It’s easy because school administrators are more afraid of conservatives than they are of progressives.
It’s because higher education is a business and people running it only care about profits, not actually teaching anyone anything.
Samantha Fulnecky, a college junior, contacted journalists and politicians about her grade dispute.
Self entitled cry baby. Mah Jesus WAHHH. 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
Oh, FFS.
The grievance industry has definitely latched onto this shit. Meanwhile, her mom…
“And as an attorney, she has defended two people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.”
Oh, so this bullshit about fake victimhood and DARVO tomfoolery definitely runs in the family.
I watched a video where Hasan Piker goes over this essay and it’s even dumber than you think…
I’m sure they arranged the whole thing.
I mean this essay is so bad, even by bible-banger standards…it very much does seem like a setup - do a fantastically big bellyflop on your assignment, but mention Jesus. Get a low grade for it…then go running to the grievance industry.
It looks like the grift is already beginning, too.
The assignment called for students to write a clear and thoughtful 650 word response to a scholarly article about gender expectations in society. According to screenshots shared by Turning Point USA’s local chapter, Fulnecky wrote in her essay that the article irritated her, and described how God created men and women differently. “Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth,” she wrote.
Mel Curth, a graduate teaching assistant, wrote as part of the grading process that she had deducted points because Fulnecky submitted a “paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive,” according to the screenshots of her messages.
Quotes and links are directly from the article.
It appears to me that the student did not complete the assignment according to the instructions. Rather, she attempted to generally contrast the conclusions of gender studies with the Bible. Although, personally, I might have thrown in a few points for word count, spacing, and completion which is more than some students are capable of.
It’s pretty disturbing how deliberately and blindly obtuse people become when given the opportunity to cheer for their team.
Her only source was the Bible, and she didn’t even cite that properly. The instructor who set the essay concurred with the TA’s assessment, and then the school suspended both of them for doing their jobs properly.
This is a mistake that should surface and get corrected in high school or earlier if the education system is working properly. Around 14 I bombed a writing assignment because my response was all personal feelings rather than reasoning and evidence. My teacher told me he agreed with me personally, but I did not actually complete the assignment as asked. I never did that again. Though I am not entirely convinced this wasn’t deliberate to create a culture war story.
Her essay was like 2 + 2 = Jesus .
So, she got a 0 and is now crying about.
yeah, the word essay is being used very liberally there.
Megan Waldron, a second graduate student who teaches the course alongside Curth, agreed with the grade. “Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning,” she wrote to Fulnecky, according to the screenshots.
Yes, “I think there are only two genders” isn’t an empirical statement. This isn’t hard. This “student” is someone who has no business being in a science class.
Fulnecky has said because they only communicated online, she did not know Curth’s gender identity until the Turning Point USA chapter pointed it out on social media. She told The College Fix, a conservative media nonprofit focused on universities, she thinks Curth should be fired if she can’t separate her personal feelings from grading assignments.
The sheer audacity of gaslighting here, I can’t even. The MAGA student’s religious feelings were not sufficient for the coursework, so clearly the teacher is the one who can’t separate her personal feelings from the assignment.
In short, the right wants to prevent cancel-culture when people are objectively awful, hateful bigots, but supports cancel-culture when they do their jobs neutrally and objectively; they want to claim the left acts based on feelings and can’t accept reality, but when they call their own feelings “beliefs” then expect those feelings to supersede law and empirical reality; and they constantly claim victimhood from positions of decisive (and unearned) power.
Despite the preceding paragraphs, I’m actually dumbfounded by this story - the above is as effective as a wordless guttural scream since none of what I said comes close to expressing the disappointment and frustration with how much power stupid bigoted people have right now.
The right wanted to grift again.
Again? They never finished.
There’s probably gonna be a pureflix movie about this shit
Oh, LOL, Pure Flix is an actual thing. Good grief…
I unironically think this pissbag deserves to be hit by a truck and forced to communicate entirely through TTS for the rest of her miserable life. Now some of you may say that I’m cruel and yes that’s the point, I ain’t going to calm my bloodlust for some irrelevant BS like civility.
Aayyy my old school is mentioned!
We need an explanation for this?
