Re: Term paper about "God" earns student failing grade

A matter of following directions? The directions of this teacher, when one wants to do a research paper on Christianity and it's effect on the development of the United States, were simply absurd!

How can you OK a paper on Christianity and then make a ridiculous stipulation saying no BIG "G" Gods that may point to any one religion? Does any one else see how laughable this is?

She acknowledges she knew her teacher's condition for writing the paper, but argued it would be impossible to write about the affect of Christianity on the development of the United States without using the word God.

I wholeheartedly agree.

That's like asking a student to write a paper about the light bulb, but don't mention Edison. Be objective.
