"Why is there grade inflation? Why do our courses lack rigor?'
"Also we will immediately throw any graduate student TA or instructor who upsets an influential constituency under the bus, no matter how obviously manufactured their outrage is." 🤷♂️

I have an English degree from Wheaton - the self-proclaimed "Harvard of evangelicalism" - and if I had turned in this essay in my psych class (or, tbh, any class), I would've also received no points. Even Wheaton wouldn't accept "because the Bible" for this assignment.
