I'm white, male and never received a C in anything.
You never had a teacher's grading which you didn't agree with? I guess you're lucky then or just vibe with leftist teachers better on some level. I saw a clear trend of bias in school.

No, bias never entered on any level. But then I was going after an engineering degree. Maybe something you encounter in liberal arts?

In hindsight I saw the bias in elementary school with the new age teachers who were educated after the 1950s mostly. But yes mostly in liberal arts classes that most every major has to take but sometimes even in science and math course work where an answer has multiple parts and partial credit. That's another thing, I always tested way beyond expectations with standardized tests than my grades or educational level would suggest.

Can you provide specific examples?
Every exam I ever took pertained to class materials. Essays were graded on their presentation of the topic, proper citations, grammar, etc not bias.
I agree with your opinion, but I read through that Ohio document and did not see where it explicitly states that a student can give wrong answers based on religion.
Neither did I. What I read was that the student could not be penalized for religious content in a work (I took that to mean an essay or other type of written answer). I did not take that to mean that they could give an answer that is blatantly wrong on a multiple choice test, for example, and still get credit for a correct answer.
If we're going to have public schools, they should teach modern science. Young-earth creationism, from an intellectual perspective, is really no different from flat-earthism. It's hard to believe it's 2019 and we still haven't moved past this yet. If parents want to shelter their kids from science and the modern world, they can send their kids to private Christian school.
When I've asked creationists, both on the internet and IRL, to explain carbon dating....in all cases the explanation has been that it is the work/a conspiracy from the devil/Satan .
Math exam questions can have multiple steps and partial credit which a biased teacher can arbitrarily mark up or down more.
But you were given partial credit for, in the end, a wrong answer? That's the bias?
Did you just arbitrarily arrive at this conclusion or did you compare to some woman of color who gave the same answer as you and got a different mark?
