University of Oklahoma thoughts

Personal

I'm currently a Student at OU. I'm not sure if it's common knowledge in Germany yet but, my professor told our class that his sister in Switzerland is saying that the Samantha Fulnecky anti-trans/shitty essay thing (again idk in this news has hit Germany yet) is also making headlines in Europe. I'm minoring in German, I've studied in Germany through OU, and I'm planning to apply for my masters degree in Germany and Austria (squeezing thumbs for Germany).

My question is when I apply for the Programs that I'm interested in. Do you think I would black balled because of the recent news with the thinking that everyone that went to school at OU is a fucking idiot? If a Professor or in admissions person is reading this what would you do if an OU Student applied.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, and you're interested in what I'm talking about. Here's the link with the essay attached.

(also, this is reddit and I'm not worried about grammar so don't judge me off of this post)
