The title said it was discrimination but the article didn’t state that is what the jury found. Reading the article, it seems the jury found the school to be negligent in responding appropriately to the bullying.
Regardless of their gender identity, the real story here is that the school didn’t stop the bullying, which is a larger problem of all schools. Severe bullying is a big issue and one I worry about with my own kids.
Sorry. Didn't catch this is behind a paywall
No worries!! I actually just tried to read the article again and got the paywall as well 😂
Here is a link from OPB: https://www.opb.org/article/2023/09/25/albany-oregon-oak-grove-schools-education-discrimination-nonbinary-lawsuit/
That is an issue in many schools is bullying. I went to school in the 80's and I was bullied for being nerdy.
My parents had one rule, I could not start a fight but if someone put their hands on me, I could defend myself.
I beat the crap out of three bullies in about two weeks and that solved my problem. That shouldn't have been the solution but back then that was the solution.
I get kids that are different will be picked on but we need to stop that crap as much as we can.
