Also Americans: "I can't stop buying from Amazon, other people still are! The mildest of inconveniences is too much effort on my part to resist fascism! Can't you do it for me?"
The issue people have here is that she got punished and the kid spreading the pictures around didn't.

There is no requirement listed that the assignment be written in English, or submitted on paper. An assignment written in Latin on the side of a cow (with a 1 inch margin) is not explicitly forbidden.
it merely demands a clear "reaction" showing they read the linked article & thought about it.
The student's essay does neither of these things. The essay shows the student read the title of the article, not the article itself. I realize those as are the type of reactions we're used to seeing on Lemmy, but a reaction showing they read the article would mention points directly from the article instead of just the general theme of "Trans people existing".
Regurgitating dogmatic talking points does not demonstrate that the student "thought about it". It reads like the student read the title, maybe the first couple of lines, then shut off their brain and said "trans bad because others tell me trans bad".
Again, I realize it's very common to see replies from people that did not read or think about an article so this seems normal, but a collage level course is going to have higher standards than social media.
non americans are too unintelligent to think of them
American exceptionalism strikes again! "Non-Americans just aren't smart enough to solve the problem they have already solved!"
You can always tell the smart ones by their ability to come up with solutions but not share then with anyone. Big "I definately understand, but explain it for the Non-Americans" energy.
the peak of the massive recession Trump has set up to happen next year.

As usual in America, nothing will done until it starts hurting the Corpos.
the Justice Department is weighing how to bring federal charges against the shooter, including under a novel legal theory that it was an anti-Christian hate crime
authorities have produced text messages from the suspect to his partner saying he was motivated to kill Kirk because he had “enough of his hatred.”
So they're straight up saying that American Christianity = Hatred.
You're literally not, in any way, forced to do that. That is a decision you have made.
