Come on Ben you know better than to be redundant and say the same thing twice by repeating yourself

OP and the response

“No, you see, cognitively disabled people are actually the smartest among us and that’s why the disability rates are high at elite schools and stagnant at less selective schools”

Come the fuck on

Of course, can't forget this heroic display of level-headedness and charity that you claim to be "increasingly unwilling to extend"

I'm saying that if an evangelical says something is demonic and doesn't immediately try to destroy it then there's a good chance they're not ascribing the same meaning to that term that you or I would

You see a lot of evangelicals living their lives like they're in the movie Frailty?

Then what’s the distinction between your formulation and hers? I agree, the style is atrocious. She got a failing grade for the content, the ideas she expressed; she wasn’t asked to make the most persuasive case possible but to share her “reaction”

I’m confident that if you think for like 10 seconds about that feeble attempt at a rejoinder and its implied analogies/parallels, you’ll realize what a dumb non-sequitur it is. I believe in you.

should have *not* tried? i assume you mean should have tried?

the student's holding and voicing bog-standard evangelical beliefs about traditional gender roles. Instead, they would have been the result of the teacher's (1) wild overreaction to a paper the teacher disagreed with, (2) grounding the reaction in religious hostility, and (3) grading the paper on

Let's say those things happen, and let's even say, just to work our imaginations, that the teacher would be incapable of finding employment at any one of a dozen orgs specifically devoted to the teacher's worldviews.

Even in that case, precisely ZERO of those consequences would be the result of

is in all cases an academic integrity violation?

If what you're saying is true, don't you think the professor would've mentioned the grade was due to an academic integrity violation? More broadly, do you actually believe that a college student's citing any version of the bible other than the original handwritten hebrew/greek version

This is just groping for serious-sounding accusations without in any way engaging with the content of this discussion. Ironic, given the position you're defending.

Probably why she said things like "I think" and stated that the source of her beliefs is the bible, instead of the absurd formulation you offered

(potential) First Amendment violation.

If you're saying she could've passed by making the exact same case that she did (such as it is), while still grounding her reasoning in the bible, but just doing it better --I'm open to being persuaded, but I've seen nothing to suggest that's the case.

Well if you're saying that she wouldn't have deserved to fail if she cited the bible to argue a case that conflicts with her religion and she doesn't agree with, but because she cited it to argue a case the professor disagrees with, she deserves to fail--well, there's your
