Campus Radicals: Christian student’s 0, conservative groups threatened

Over the past week, Fox News Digital Campus Radicals Series Threats, hostility and extremism directed at college students and conservative organizations have been uncovered across the country.

Here are the highlights of this week:

The Oklahoma Christian University student received a score of 0 on the essay

Samantha Volnickia pre-med student at Oklahoma’s leading university, catapulted to viral fame when she was eliminated after citing her Christian and biblical values ​​in an article.

Graduate assistant William “Mel” Kurth, who uses he/they pronouns, is now on administrative leave as the school explains why Fulnicki was rated 0 out of 25 on a recent assignment. Students were instructed to read a scientific paper about gender norms and provide a “thoughtful reaction or response.”

“Gender roles and attitudes should not be considered ‘stereotypes,’” Volnicki’s article reads in part. “Women naturally want to do feminine things because God created us with those feminine desires in our hearts. The same applies to men. God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty. He intentionally created women differently from men, and we must live our lives with that in mind.”

After Volnicki claimed that gender norms should be reinforced rather than frowned upon, Kirth called her paper “offensive” and said it lacked empirical evidence, which was not part of the assignment’s classification title.

“Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting a point [sic] “Because you publish a reaction paper that does not answer the questions of this assignment, contradicts itself, makes heavy use of personal ideology over empirical evidence in the science classroom, and is at times offensive,” Kurth’s response said.

Volnicki fired back.

“I definitely think I was being punished for what I believe because I stated very clearly in my article in my response to the article, I stated very clearly my beliefs and I stated — not just my beliefs — but what the Bible says and what God says about sex and about those roles,” she told Fox News Digital.

The university reinstated her degree and is investigating the matter further.

The Islamic Club sparks fear among Jewish students in Pennsylvania

A The Muslim Students Club encourages the Palestinians A keffiyeh bearing anti-Israel slogans was distributed at a high school outside Philadelphia.

The disturbing scene occurred at the Wissahickon School District’s annual cultural fair at the Muslim Student Association’s pavilion, and left a Jewish student in an unsettled state, according to the student’s father.

“My child came home shaken and unsure if it was safe to speak as a Jew at school,” Lynn Simon told Fox News Digital.

District administrators, including Superintendent Moiniwe Dhawan, Assistant Superintendent Shawn Gardiner and Wissahickon High School Principal Dr. Lynn Blair, participated in the event and posted photos from the scene. Those photos have since been deleted.

Parents said that some of the offensive slogans included “Jerusalem is ours.”

“When a school principal posts photos of students wearing slogans like ‘Jerusalem is Ours,’ and a superintendent encourages illegal games of chance led by minors, while visiting and taking photos of politically charged booths with students wearing keffiyehs, that is not education, it is indoctrination,” Simon said. “We do not send our children to school to be marginalized. We demand accountability, not photos.”

“We tried to start a Students for Life chapter here at Vanguard, and we went through the same club application that everyone goes through when they want to start a club,” Rendon told Fox News Digital. “We applied, got the names of interested students, and after we submitted the application, we were told that the club would be rejected for political and ideological reasons. The school did not want to have any political or ideological affiliations.”

After support from the national leadership of Students for Life, which sparked further conversation with Vanguard administration, Rendon was approved to start a club called Vanguard Lions Love Life, but this club is not officially affiliated with Students for Life.

The New Orleans TPUSA chapter has been stymied – again

For the second time in a month and a half, student government at Loyola University New Orleans Prevented turning point separation in the United States of America Of becoming a Registered Student Organization (RSO).

The saga began when students affiliated with Turning Point were denied a charter by Loyola’s Student Government Association (SGA) on October 15. They later appealed the decision to the school review tribunal.

That court found flaws in SGA’s reason for blocking this chapter, but the remedy was to remand the case to SGA, which had denied TPUSA in the first place.

On Wednesday night, the SGA again denied the tipping point when a small group protested outside the meeting.

Law student and Tipping Point supporter Ethan Estes criticized the decision as “pure politics.”

“In my final opinion, no organization, regardless of whether it is TPUSA or… [Students for a Democratic Society] …must be grated [sic] “Or have been denied RSO status by SGA members, who are themselves RSOs,” he said. “This is not true, and we aim to correct this error using any means necessary and appropriate.”

The school says it respects the independence of the SGA, and noted that there is no limit to the number of appeals Turning Point can file.
