Formal Complaint from HRC Triggers Department of Education Investigation into Owasso Public Schools Following Attacks on Nex Benedict

March 1, 2024 WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of Education informed Human Rights Campaign (HRC) President Kelley Robinson that the department will open an investigation in response to HRC’s letter regarding Owasso Public Schools and its failure to respond appropriately to sex-based harassment that may have contributed to the tragic death of Nex Benedict (he/they), a 16-year-old 2STGNC+ (Two Spirit, transgender, or gender nonconforming+) teen of Choctaw heritage. This investigation was triggered by a formal complaint made last week by Robinson, who wrote to U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and asked his department to use the enforcement mechanisms at its disposal to prevent similar tragedies from taking place in the future and to help hold accountable those responsible for Nex’s tragic death. The letter from the Department of Education reads: “the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), is opening for investigation the above-referenced complaint that you filed against the Owasso Public Schools (the District). Your complaint alleges that the District discriminated against students by failing to respond appropriately to sex-based harassment, of which it had notice, at Owasso High School during the 2023-2024 school year.” “Nex’s family, community, and the broader 2SLGBTQI+ (two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex+) community in Oklahoma are still awaiting answers following their tragic loss. We appreciate the Department of Education responding to our complaint and opening an investigation–we need them to act urgently so there can be justice for Nex, and so that all students at Owasso High School and every school in Oklahoma can be safe from bullying, harassment, and discrimination.” -- Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign The full text of the letter from the Department of Education in response to HRC can be found here. The full text of the initial letter from HRC President Kelley Robinson to Secretary Cardona can be found here. According to the letter, OCR is opening the following issues for investigation: Whether the District failed to appropriately respond to alleged harassment of students in a manner consistent with the requirements of Title IX. Whether the District failed to appropriately respond to alleged harassment of students in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 504 and Title II. HRC sent a second letter to the Department asking it to promptly begin an investigation into the Oklahoma State Department of Education, as well as the current State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters. In addition: -- Robinson wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking the Department of Justice to begin an investigation into Nex’s death.

-- Robinson wrote to Dr. Margaret Coates, superintendent of the Owasso school district in Oklahoma, calling for the superintendent to take advantage of the Human Rights Campaign’s Welcoming Schools program— the most comprehensive bias-based bullying prevention program in the nation to provide LGBTQ+ and gender inclusive training and resources — and offering to bring experts to the district immediately.

Letters from an American

Heather Cox Richardson

Feb 11, 2024 "On February 12, 1809, Nancy Hanks Lincoln gave birth to her second child, a son: Abraham. Abraham Lincoln grew up to become the nation’s sixteenth president, leading the country from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865, a little over a month into his second term. He piloted the country through the Civil War, preserving the concept of American democracy. It was a system that had never been fully realized but that he still saw as “the last, best hope of earth” to prove that people could govern themselves."

Dear Human Rights Campaign,

As a member of the queer community and an advocate for human rights, I am deeply concerned about your ties to weapons manufacturers and your silence on the international call for a ceasefire in Gaza. I urge HRC to reconsider those ties and to call for a ceasefire, divest from companies engaged in apartheid and genocide, and uphold HRC's own principles of equality and justice.

The LGBTQ+ community's struggle for justice and equality parallels the Palestinian struggle for peace, dignity, and self determination. By taking a stand against oppression and advocating for peace, HRC will stand on the side of oppressed queer people worldwide in the struggle for true equality.

Sincerely,

Queer Doe
