The professor says she is now the subject of a school free-speech investigation
Meanwhile, states like Ohio continue to push bills that decry progressive lessons

A gender studies professor has proudly boasted of failing students who do not adhere to her hyper-woke beliefs, after a student complained of receiving a zero grade for a paper that used the term 'biological women'.

Melanie Rose Nipper, a 28 year-old adjunct professor of sexuality studies at the University of Cincinnati, vehemently stood by her grading practices Thursday.

She did so after student Olivia Krolczyk complained about being failed for using the previously uncontroversial term 'biological women', now branded offensive over claims it excludes trans women. 

Nipper told the Cincinnati Enquirer that her support of free speech ends when 'you are, intentionally or unintentionally, participating in a systemic harm of some kind,' - including statements she deems transphobic or racist.

Outlining the punishment meted out to anyone who dares to offend her, Nipper attempted to paint her antics as reasonable, declaring: 'Not a zero for the course, a zero for an assignment.'

Bizarrely, the academic went on to slam a proposed Ohio state bill aimed at cracking down on controversial campus speech.
