William 'Mel' Curth is a teaching assistant at the University of Oklahoma who made headlines after giving a zero grade to a student for an essay that cited biblical principles in discussing gender norms. Curth's decision was criticized as potentially punitive and inappropriate, particularly due to the religious context of the student's arguments, which sparked a debate on academic freedom and the treatment of religious beliefs in educational settings.
