March 4 2024- The U.S. Department of Education is investigating an Oklahoma school district, Owasso Public Schools, following the death of a teenager, Nex Benedict, who died the day after a high-school bathroom fight. Advocates argue that this case underscores the severe consequences of anti-transgender rhetoric. The investigation by the Office for Civil Rights will focus on whether the school district appropriately addressed alleged gender-based harassment. The Human Rights Campaign filed a complaint, claiming Nex was bullied over their gender identity. HRC President Kelley Robinson emphasizes the need for urgent action to ensure justice for Nex and the safety of all students.
