the u.s. department of education’s office for civil rights announced that they had reached a resolution in their title ix sexual harassment investigation of owasso public schools in oklahoma following the tragic death of nex benedict, a young student who died by suicide on february 8, 2024, after enduring more than a year of anti-trans bullying and harassment.

in response, emma grasso levine, senior manager of title ix policy and programs at know your ix (a survivor- and youth-led project of 喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 ), issued the following statement:

“the department of education’s announcement sends an important message to schools across the country that they must abide by title ix. every young person deserves to feel safe and supported at school, and to pursue an education without fear of gender-based harassment or discrimination.

nex benedict should be alive today. while this announcement is a move toward justice for survivors of violence and abuse, many young people remain at risk. elected officials must stop playing political games with students’ lives and adopt the biden administration’s updated title ix guidance. students’ lives are at stake.”
