It's Friday, December 5, 2025.

I'm Albert Moller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

We need to go to the state of Oklahoma.

There's a story developing there that should have our attention.

All Christians, Christian parents, Christian young people, college

students should pay attention to this story. It's receiving a lot of attention. Turning Point USA has made it

into a major issue, and deservedly so. It needs to be a major issue. We're talking about a student

of the University of Oklahoma, Samantha Fulnicki, a junior there at the university.

And she has basically raised the issue of the fact that she was given a score of zero out of a

possible 25 for a response and analysis paper that came as an assignment. And she is saying,

as the New York Times reports, that she was given

the zero for an essay that cited the Bible and said that the lie that there are multiple genders is

demonic. Now, as you might expect, there's more to it. And I want to tell you, one of the good

things about the Internet AIDS, they're bad things. But one of the good things is that I can now have access to her report, to the original assignment, to the, to the scientific.

I'm going to put quotation marks around that scientific article that was the article to which she was to respond and make the analysis.

We now have all of that. I can tell you that by

no sane measure does her assignment come back as a zero. A zero out of 25 or a zero out

anything. That just doesn't make any sense. It is clear that she submitted a response to the

assignment. The professor came back and gave her again zero out of a possible 25,

and the professor made very clear statements that he was rejecting the student's work.

Now, I've got to be careful, once again, gender becomes a problem because transgender is a part of the story.

And it's not just a part of the story in the article. It's a part of the story with this instructor who's now been put on leave by the University of Oklahoma.
