The legal complaint highlights how the openly gay student faced 'regular and relentless anti-LGBTQ+ bullying', detailing incidents of harassment that escalated through his time at the school.
Despite multiple incidents of bullying reported to the school administration, the response from Beemer, Boatwright, and the school board was characterized as 'victim-blaming and inaction', leading to further distress for the student.
One particularly alarming incident involved five students surrounding the boy while using homophobic slurs, with two teachers present who failed to intervene, demonstrating a significant failure in school staff responsibility.
The complaint also describes an incident where a student created a 'straight pride' poster featuring the victim’s face, epitomizing the harassment and bullying that persisted throughout his school experience.
