Term paper about 'God' earns student failing grade

[bgwah]

The paper probably sucked, too.

I guess that if I have to write a paper about the American Revolution, but instead write about the Civil War, I'll sue my teacher when I get an F because they are limiting my freedom of speech!

And talk about a one-sided story. Just more fundies trying to make it look like they're some persecuted minority. What a joke.

No, you misread the scope of the assignment.

The assignment was about the role of religion in government. In the United States, at least, some mention of religion would necessarily entail a discussion about a belief in God. The two are intimately related, not at all like your Civil War/US Revolution nonsense.

Not to mention, even subliterate papers don't receive 'F's anymore.

Next time, keep your atheistic trollery to yourself.

Who cares if it doesn't make sense?

She was given an assignment with a set of guidelines that she voluntarily chose not to follow. She deserves an F.

I suppose you've spent your entire life following every rule very literally?

Not exactly.

But if I had a paper that had one rule, I would not violate it.

Not only did this girl break that rule, she broke it as much as possible. Don't you think 41 times is a bit redundant? And putting it in the title of the paper? She's trying to make a big deal out of this. She wanted him to fail her.

You just admitted it yourself - you don't ALWAYS follow rules to the letter. Don't act like a Fundie about rule-breaking then.

Yeah, I really want my professor to fail me, too. That's why I have bent rules that make no sense.

Your argument is terrible.

Quite pleased to hear this, education and religion are definite opposing values.

Oh please. As I said, it's an English paper - the paper should be graded on how well it was written and if it stayed on subject, not what beliefs the author was trying to convey.

Stayed on "subject," huh? Well her instructions were to write a paper about the role of religion in government without using the word "god," and she failed to do that. That is why she got this F.

It's too bad so many people are falling victim to this one-sided and deceptive news article.

The girl is probably glad she got the F, she obviously wanted it so she could get all her religious companions to attack him with her.

The instruction was entirely unreasonable and based on what appears to be either stupidity(oh no, it might offend someone, we can't have that, because people have a constitutional right to never be offended!) or bias. I'd like to see you right a substantial paper on religion and government without using the word god(synonyms count!).

Oh please, everybody has had stupid teachers. Deal with it, don't sue them.
