The student didn't use a technical nor scientific process to address the scenarios from the original assigned reading. This is a psychology course grounded in logic and scientific processes. The student was asked to practice the use of researching positions and supporting arguments with data, prior research, and logical structures. The student did not do that work so it's an F, regardless of what they wrote or the position they take on the topic.
In my ethics class I made it clear from day 1 that some students would take or hold positions I disagreed with. I also made it clear that their work would be judged on the rigor of their reasoning and the quality of the use of supporting works, not my opinion. I failed some papers that I agreed with because they were emotional outbursts (like our OU student's work) and passed ones that I detested (because they used the right process and forms to argue a case).
If OU's leadership doesn't back the use of science, logic, and formal argument in a course designed to teach scientific principles, then the school isn't a University of Merit anymore. It's just a religious shit hole like Liberty University and any graduates should be treated as with as much regard. But it is in Oklahoma so the locals will likely be mostly okay with their children being ill educated if it protects their incorrect Bronze Age worldviews.
