Daily News | The Central Bucks School District’s indefensible treatment of LGBTQ students | Editorial
One student has been eating lunch in the bathroom this year to avoid a bully. In 2019, one trans student attempted suicide after “relentless anti-transgender bullying.” The specific allegations and names of the seven students have been redacted to protect them from further bullying and harassment.
The lawsuit alleged the Central Bucks administration and school board have been “aware of a hostile environment for LGBTQ students in general, and transgender students in particular” for several years.when he said: “A successful day [for LGBTQ students] is getting through the day and not being harassed, not being outed by someone. A successful day is getting through the hallway without somebody sending a slur their way, or trying to marginalize them.
School district officials have targeted teachers who intercede. One middle-school teacher who was seen as an advocate for LGBTQ students was and escorted from the building in the middle of the school day, according to the lawsuit. The suspension apparently had a chilling effect, as some teachers declined to speak with the ACLU out of fear of reprisal.
