Today, after finding out that my professor likes to talk trash about, and constantly belittle, Muslims in every American History class he teaches, I submitted an essay about Muslim contributions to humanity. He held me back after class and asked why I gave him such filth. I'm a Muslim. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw my coworker write about how awful Muslims were and how the religion is stupid, the hijab is oppressive, and how they're a poison on society. When I questioned them about it, they pretty much said that I didn't know anything and should stop talking. I'm Muslim and a hijabi. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, my English professor bragged to my entire class about how good my essay was. He kept on saying great things about it for the duration of class. To my surprise, he'd given me a C-. When I asked why, his only response was: "I'm a hard grader." FML
Today, my university professor asked us to submit anonymous course feedback. I wrote three paragraphs criticizing his lectures. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my full name at the bottom of the page. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML
Today, I confirmed that my professor hates me. Weeks ago, I failed a paper for the first time, so I went to my professor, apologized profusely, and discussed my revision plan. I got his approval on my conclusions and added all the details he suggested. I then submitted my paper. I got my grade this morning: C-. FML
Today, I went to get my midterm essay grade thinking I couldn't have made lower than a B. Got to class and my douchebag professor gave me an F. He wrote "Best essay I read, would've been an A if it was the right topic." I wrote on the Industrial Revolution, instead of the Scientific Revolution. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Report him to the department chair. Even if he has tenure, things like that can get it revoked. There's no need to treat people that way.

did you follow the assignment? if that was your assignment then FYL if it wasn't then YDI. that "filth" might be your writing ability or the wrong topic entirely and that was what he could be referring with filth. I can't say until you enlighten us on the assignment.

ME TOO! im a Muslim too. like its ISIS's fault for making these retarded people to think all those who follow Islam are horrible. not all Muslims are bad. i know that because i have good friends that are Muslims. LET'S ALL WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT ISLAM AND MUSLIMS

It's disgusting that someone as influential as a professor can be such a bigot. He should definitely be reported for that.

2016 and racism is very much alive. He doesn't deserve to be a teacher of "higher learning" because he's obviously not reached that level of intelligence. What a jackass

I know everyone is saying it but you definitely need to bring attention to this. Contact the principal. If the principal doesn't do anything, go to the media. Make the guy a star.

Normally I would have said that it shouldn't have made a difference wether you're a muslim or not in regards to what your essay was about but this time it's different. In this case he was even directly offending you! He not even displayed a very outdated bias of his but also his disrespect for you as a person. I feel like a person that has so little consideration for other people and who fails to see the good on both sides should never be a professor. Let alone a history professor!

I don't care if people speak out about what they believe, but for a teacher to do so is unacceptable. They should remain religiously and politically neutral whilst in an educational environment.

Well, now we know that the monstrosity that is Donald Trump has at least one voter.
