A student in a Women's Studies class was given a zero on her project for using the "inappropriate and non-inclusive" term "Biological Woman".  This happened even though the professor can't herself define what a "woman" actually is.

Our educational system is under siege by the Left.  Most of us already knew this long ago, but the evidence is more "in your face" than ever before.

I first covered the story of college student Olivia Krolczyk a few weeks ago
after she went viral for a video she made describing how she failed a college
assignment because she used the term "biological woman". She kept her
professor's and school's names private in her videos.   

However, there is now a new update to the story...

The fault is also on the student for even taking this class.  I highly doubt it was a required class, unless she's majoring in women's studies. Then it's still her fault for picking a BS major.

Good news! 

A University of Cincinnati student who allegedly received a zero on a college
project proposal for using the term "biological women" has had her proposal
re-graded by another professor and received an A in the class.

Olivia Krolczyk posted a TikTok video last month detailing the feedback she
received from her gender studies teacher, explaining that she received a zero
on her project proposal about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports
because she used the term "biological women."

Olivia is a chemistry major.  I bet she chose the class out of a list of several for her social science options thinking it would be interesting and an easy "A".  She has several "Free Elective" courses to choose, and I imagine many of those need to be related to her major or minor.

If you think about it, biology as it relates to gender studies is in the ballpark of a chemistry curriculum.

I don't know how many here have a STEM degree.
I did University, working full time, paying for a house
and raising a family.
I did all the hard science stuff up front.
Small print said I had to do "foundation" studies
as a Junior or Senior.
Used to really confuse the professors.
Why are you a thirty+ year old Computer science major taking
an art or philosophy class as a Senior?
Never ever, ever allow a instructor to get political, even
in a Poly Sci class.
They work for you. Who is paying their salary?
The student is.

Colleges and universities used to have to compete for the top HS grads so they could receive pretty much guaranteed income for 4 years plus maybe donations and endowments from those alumni.  Sports would generate more revenue for the school, too.

Now with student loans, the government has created a money machine for schools.  Regardless of academic standing, they all qualify for loans unless the parents are very well off.  Schools have new libraries, stadiums, classrooms, computers and networks, and student activity centers -- mostly paid from the huge number of students that can now pay tuition with borrowed funds.

Teachers are also in a different situation.  They push their political biases and opinions on the students, and they don't worry about getting fired. Too many ways to sue for discrimination these days.

i was lucky to get that 4-year scholarship, but I still had to work to pay for housing, food, motorcycle loan payments,  insurance, gas, and of course the occasional party.  Things were a LOT cheaper back then, too.

My scholarship included a $100/month subsistence allowance during the Fall and Spring semesters.  (Woo hoo!)  That actually helped a lot when I was tied up and couldn't work the hours I needed.
