OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:
The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter. First, the college acted immediately to address the academic issue raised by the student. College leaders contacted her on the day her letter was received and have maintained regular communication throughout the process. As previously stated, a formal grade appeals process was conducted. The process resulted in steps to ensure no academic harm to the student from the graded assignments. Second, the student reported filing a claim of illegal discrimination based on religious beliefs to the appropriate university office. OU has a clear process for reviewing such claims and it has been activated. The graduate student instructor has been placed on administrative leave pending the finalization of this process. To ensure fairness in the process, a full-time professor is serving as the course instructor for the remainder of the semester. OU remains firmly committed to fairness, respect and protecting every student's right to express sincerely held religious beliefs. The UNIVERSITY of OKLAHOMA

It is so funny that the French government had to pass a law about this

‘Doggy bag’ law comes into force in France FRANCE France Long seen as an affront to dining etiquette, doggy bags may finally become an established part of eating out in France with restaurants across the country now legally obliged to provide them.

This is dorky, but it popped into my head the other day that you could think of social media as turning every political movement into an almost impossible game of "Stag Hunt" in the sense that everyone is tempted to secure a small personal win over remaining in solidarity for a big win.

At the beginning of the pandemic, a guy tried to crash a hijacked train into a boat because he thought all of the Pizzagate babies were in there. One of dozens of things from that year that went basically uncovered outside of my beat.

Let’s not forget what happened.
The public voluntarily contributed to public information sources like gamefaqs, cddb, IMDb, and Atari forums and in each case they were sold.

Rümeysa Öztürk — a student kidnapped by the US federal government, held for six weeks in an ICE concentration camp — tells her story by centering the women detained alongside her. The result is heartbreaking, harrowing, enraging, and (at times) hopeful.

Justin Sun is a Chinese billionaire who was sued by the Biden SEC in a crypto case.

He’s a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial.

He also spent $40M+ on $TRUMP coins, earning an invite to dinner with Trump at his Va. golf club on Thurs.

He apparently also got a private WH tour.
