For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

Partial assignment description (it's clear this is starting in the middle, and it's possible there is more afterwards)
There are other possibilities as well. The best reaction papers illustrate that students have read the assigned materials and engaged in critical thinking about some aspect of the article.Formatting requirements: 12-point Times New Roman or Calibri font, one-inch margins on all sides.
GRADING: Reaction papers are graded on a 25-point scale, and are evaluated based on the following:
Does the paper show a clear tie-in to the assigned article? (10 points)
Does the paper present a thoughtful reaction or response to the article, rather than a summary? (10 points)
Is the paper clearly written? (5 points)
You must write a 650 words (body of text), double-spaced reaction paper demonstrating that you read the assigned article, and includes a thoughtful reaction to the material presented in the article. Points will be deducted when papers are deficient in any of these areas. I will deduct 10 points if your paper is between 620 and 649 words, and I will not give credit for papers under 620 words. Papers not turned in by the deadline will not receive credit.
Please remember that your reaction paper should not be a summary, but rather a thoughtful discussion of some aspect of the article. Possible approaches to reaction papers include:
A discussion of why you feel the topic is important and worthy of study (or not)
An application of the study or results to your own experiences
University of Oklahoma statement
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, and protecting every student's right to express sincerely held religious beliefs.
These images were OCR'd and then quickly proofread by me, but if you notice any mistakes, let please let me know! One thing which you can be sure I double-checked: it really does say "He created us with such intentionally" (instead of "intentionality").
edit: moved second instructor comment to top-level comment; added assignment prompt
Omfg it's only a 650 word minimum? Man I have had difficult short assignments before but they were expecting me to get a LOT more done with a 600 word MAXIMUM! One in particular we were told "there's no minimum. If you can get it done in 400 words good for you. You can't, though."
Mfw in college I had to write a 10,000 word essay on Jane Jacobs's Death and Life of Great American Cities
Also sounds like a massive pain in the ass
