“I was put into a category. Who I was as a person no longer mattered! What only mattered was my race, my case, and immigration status. Once again it belittled me, shattered my dignity and what I was as a person,” Mexican national Brandon Ortiz-Vite wrote in a lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District Court.
“The shame it brought to my family name is a reality I have to live with now,” he wrote. “I took full responsibility for my actions, but for them to use my case for political gain on T.V. was unjust. Humiliating. When I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. I was center stage in front of a nation, public scrutiny at its finest.” Click here to read more.
Bethel School District investigated by Department of Education over Pride Month display
The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has opened an investigation into the Bethel School District in Pierce County over allegations that a Pride Month display at one of its high schools exposed students to vials of testosterone and may have violated federal parental rights laws.
The department said it is also investigating Denver Public Schools in Colorado over separate allegations involving classroom conduct and possible Title IX violations.
According to the DOE, the Bethel investigation stems from reports that a high school displayed vials of testosterone — a controlled substance commonly prescribed for certain medical conditions, including gender-affirming hormone therapy — as part of a Pride Month display in June.
The department said local police later removed the display because of health and safety concerns about controlled medication being left unattended near minor students. Click here to read more.
