A video of the incident at Hazelbrook Middle School in Tualatin recently went viral on social media.
An Oregon school district said it cannot disclose whether or not a middle school student who was recently filmed attacking another classmate is transgender.The video shows students walking through a hallway when one student suddenly grabs a girl by her backpack and throws her to the floor, before yanking her hair back-and-forth and smacking her repeatedly in the shoulder.
The student allegedly responsible for the attack was arrested and is facing assault and harassment charges, according to the release. The case has been referred to the Washington County Juvenile Department. The assumption led to furious calls to the district and the school from people across the country, Oregon Live reported last week. It prompted the Tigard-Tualatin School Board to release a statement on Thursday evening, hitting out at those who circulated the video.
