This is a huge meltdown in conservative circles, and considering how spineless the OU administration is, they’ll probably end up nixing the professor. They are currently working on getting rid of the African American studies department as is.

Edit: absolutely bonkers

    What concerns me is that there is already a massive problem with mental health care in Oklahoma being very religious, and this person being a psychology major. This is not a person who would be a safe practitioner for an LGBT person to turn too - they are showing that they are someone who cannot remain professional and separate their work from their personal religious beliefs.

    As an OU alum myself, I also am disappointed with that quality of writing from a junior.

      Oh, sure, her views are very concerning and totally unsuitable for a therapist. Invoking Satan and calling trans acceptance demonic should get some serious attention from the university outside of her grade for this particular assignment.

      Sadly, I fear that’s not likely in the current political climate, at least not in a red state.
