A University of Oklahoma student was given a grade of zero on her psychology assignment, which was a reaction essay to assigned reading on gender roles in society. In her essay, she cited the Bible and referred to trans identities as "demonic." The student, Samantha Fulnecky, filed a religious discrimination complaint with the university, and Turning Point got involved. Now the grad student who graded Fulnecky's paper and who is herself trans has been placed on administrative leave. Here's more from @them@flipboard.com.

Public libraries in Tennessee have begun a review of children's collections after Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) ordered them to remove books with LGBTQ themes or characters. Some of the state's 181 libraries will be closed for days to ensure their books comply with the recently passed Tennessee law prohibiting DEI and Trump's "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" executive order, the latter of which might not even apply here. For Popular Information, Rebecca Crosby and Noel Sims break down what's happening.

Music programs in prisons cultivate hope and dignity, while reducing the chances of re-incarceration. But journalist Maurice Chammah says that's only one side of the story — that listening to music made by incarcerated people has the power to change people on the outside. Here's his 2023 story for The Marshall Project on the history, impact and potential of prison music. "Listening to and sharing music may sound like a soft, superficial way of changing a broken system, but you can’t get policy change if you haven’t paved the way with culture," he writes.

As U.S. Thanksgiving celebrations begin to wind down, here's a reminder from @The Conversation U.S. that communal celebrations of gratitude didn't begin with the Plymouth Pilgrims. "The emphasis on the Pilgrims’ 1620 landing and 1621 feast erased a great deal of religious history and narrowed conceptions of who belongs in America," writes Thomas Tweed, a professor emeritus of American Studies and History at the University of Notre Dame.
