An investigation into Fulnecky&#8217;s discrimination complaint is still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>The assignment was for a psychology class about lifespan development. Students were asked to write a 650-word response to an academic study that examined whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.<\/p>\n<p>Fulnecky wrote that she was frustrated by the premise of the article because she doesn&#8217;t believe that there are more than two genders based on her understanding of the Bible, according to a copy of her essay provided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news9.com\/oklahoma-city-news\/ou-essay-bible-instructor-on-leave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">obtained by CBS affiliate KWTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>She argued that promoting the belief in multiple genders would lead society to move &#8220;farther from God&#8217;s original plan for humans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with KWTV, Fulnecky said she believes that she deserved a perfect score.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been getting these papers all semester, and I&#8217;ve written them all the same,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve gotten a 100 on all of them up until this point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some have criticized her for not actually citing the Bible, but instead making a general reference, KWTV reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t specifically cite one verse of the Bible or one portion of the Bible,&#8221; she told the station. &#8220;But the instructions asked us to pull from our personal experiences and give thoughtful reaction based off of prior experiences and knowledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The essays were graded out of 25 points, broken down by whether the student demonstrated an understanding of the article and addressed a specific aspect of the argument put forth. Fulnecky received zero points for her work.<\/p>\n<p>In a response to the essay, the instructor said Fulnecky&#8217;s assignment &#8220;does not answer the questions for the assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive,&#8221; KWTV reported.<\/p>\n<p>A second teacher in the class also told Fulnecky that she agreed with the other instructor&#8217;s grade for the assignment, the station reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>She argued that promoting the belief in multiple genders would lead society to move &#8220;farther from God&#8217;s original plan for humans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The essays were graded out of 25 points, broken down by whether the student demonstrated an understanding of the article and addressed a specific aspect of the argument put forth. Fulnecky received zero points for her work<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Professors like this are the very reason conservatives can&#8217;t voice their beliefs in the classroom,&#8221; the group posted.<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt appeared to affirm that perspective, posting on X that the situation was &#8220;deeply concerning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m calling on the OU regents to review the results of the investigation &amp; ensure other students aren&#8217;t unfairly penalized for their beliefs,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GovStitt\/status\/1995209374193852595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The firestorm comes after a professor at Texas A&amp;M was fired earlier this year after a video where a student confronted the instructor over her teaching of issues related to gender identity in a class on children&#8217;s literature went viral. A university committee in late November ruled that the firing was without good cause, and flouted formal procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Since Mr. Trump took office, student affinity groups have shuttered campus offices and professors have altered curriculums. The president has also threatened federal funding for schools who don&#8217;t comply with standards for teaching, admissions and gender in sports supported by the administration. Both supporters and opponents of the Trump administration&#8217;s campaign say that freedom of speech is at stake.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
