The family of a transgender student in Randolph is reeling from an onslaught of transphobic messages and social media posts fueled by what it says were inaccurate news stories about a locker room incident.
You’ll never miss a story with our daily headlines in your inbox. VTDigger is not naming the student or her mother because the former is a minor who has reported experiencing harassment. Layne Millington, superintendent of the Orange Southwest Supervisory District, confirmed that the school is investigating a complaint under its harassment, hazing and bullying policies but said federal privacy laws prevent him from providing any additional information.
She shared examples of social media messages the family has received from local community members. VTDigger is not publishing them due to their transphobic content. The district launched a forensic investigation of the hack, reported it to law enforcement agencies and disabled the website and associated social media accounts. But as her child struggles to return to school after a challenging weekend, the community support from parents, friends and support groups on social media has been incredible, she said.
And the family also feels heard and supported by the school district, she said. If you want to keep tabs on Vermont’s education news, sign up here to get a weekly email with all of VTDigger’s reporting on higher education, early childhood programs and K education policy.
