Oklahoma University instructor suspended for failing student's unscientific anti-trans psychology essay

Graduate teaching assistant Mel Curth, who graded the paper, wrote that the zero was based on academic criteria, not retaliation for the student's religious views. Curth wrote that the essay "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." Curth also noted that portraying a marginalized group as "demonic" is "highly offensive," and urged the student to use empirical sources rather than doctrinal statements when critiquing course material.
