  • I’m aware of that case, and if you read the language of the bill it doesn’t address that situation very well.

    That case is a weird one because I actually think both sides, the student and the graduate assistant grader, were wrong. And ultimately I think the GA was more wrong because the GA held the position of authority in the situation. I generally think that those in authority should be held to more strict standards.

    In that specific case that you, there was a very clear scoring rubric published that the GA was supposed to follow. (You can find the rubric published online.) There is no possible way a rational person could read the grading rubric and conclude the student deserved a 0. Yes, it was a very stupidly written essay, but it wasn’t a zero -not if you follow the published rubric. The student was given a zero only because of religious discrimination. The grader should have followed the rubric. If the grader has followed the rubric then the student still would have likely failed the assignment, but the grader would have been able to justify the grade and would probably have avoided getting disciplined.

    That’s my position on that. I’m sure you disagree and believe the student was 100% at fault.









  • That is not remotely what the bill says. It just say that a school can’t fail a kid because of their religion or politics. The kid still has to do the academic work.

A student may not be penalized or rewarded based on the religious, political, or ideological content of his or her work if the coursework, artwork, or other written or oral assignments require a student’s viewpoint to be expresse

    The only real solution is for the parents/guardians to be engaged and involved in their childrens’ lives.

    I don’t agree with that. It’s not all on the parents. It can’t be all on the parents.

    This is like if the Boy Scouts said “Hey, it’s not our responsibility to protect kids. The parents should have been more involved.” No, if you are providing the service then it’s your responsibility to make sure that service is safe.

    And yes, I believe you should be held accountable for the services you provide.
