‘Non-Binary’ Oregon Student Wins $300K in Discrimination Lawsuit Against School District
A “non-binary” Oregon teenager has won $300,000 in a discrimination lawsuit against the Greater Albany Public School District.
The student, Lior Onlay-Kelsey, accused the school of not doing enough to stop other students from bullying them.
It is unclear if the student is a biological male or female. The name Lior is historically male and has Hebrew roots, but is growing in popularity for females.
Onlay-Kelsey, who is now 15, alleged that the bullying began when they were 10.
“In fourth and fifth grade I had, had conversation with my mother and my mother said she was reporting this to school administrators,” the student said, according to a report from local station KTVZ.
