This is true and I suspect the essay response was designed deliberately for that exact purpose. The essay prompt was published to students in August and the student's mother is an attorney who has publicized her J6 clients for the past two years.
And the prompt isn't about transgenderism.

True, but the academics online are equally aware that debating ethics with the deeply unethical is going to turn out very badly.
The rubrics do matter because we don't assess what a student believes but how well they support an argument.

Sometimes people mistake the accumulation of 💰 💰 💰 and property as the equivalent of an interesting personality. 💰 can conceal an astonishing number of obvious degeneracies.
