The Spin

A Christian student was failed for expressing biblical views on gender in a psychology essay, proving that conservative students face discrimination from biased professors who punish religious beliefs rather than grading academic work fairly. The instructor's own transgender identity created a clear conflict of interest that resulted in religious persecution.

A student failed an assignment because she refused to engage with the assigned reading and instead submitted a religiously-based rant calling gender diversity "demonic" without providing any empirical evidence. Conservative activists weaponized this legitimate academic failure to attack a trans instructor and manufacture another fake persecution narrative.
