A mother is suing an Oregon school district, claiming a teacher
threatened to kill her son, who is a special education student and gay.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, also names five employees,
including the teacher, Brett Trosclair, and says her son was subjected
to repeated acts of "harassment and discrimination" by school staff.
She's filed a federal First and Fourteenth Amendment lawsuit claiming
his constitutional rights were violated. The suit will also test the federal Title IX law, alleging sex discrimination.
The Oregonian
reports that in a March assembly last year, her son "told his friend
that he thought another student was cute, according to the lawsuit.
Trosclair then turned around, the son said, and told the boys to 'shut
up.' Then the teacher threatened to kill them and throw them down the
stairs, the suit alleges."
