A University of Oklahoma student claimed she was discriminated against because of her religious beliefs after she received a failing grade on an essay for her gender studies class. Now, Turning Point USA has taken on her push for “academic freedom” and her case has become a national sensation.
Samantha Fulnecky, a junior at OU, reported her psychology instructor to the school after she received an F on her paper. The university’s chapter of Turning Point USA, a conservative nonprofit founded by Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September, posted Fulnecky’s essay and instructor Mel Curth’s response online and blasted the instructor. Curth uses she/they pronouns.
