Topic	Southern girl banned from school bus for being lesbian. Fires driver + principal
UnfairRepresent 08/04/21 11:15:02 AM #1:	A 14-year-old lesbian student in Kansas has succeeded in getting her school district to change its policies towards LGBTQ students after she refused to silently accept her bus drivers homophobic discrimination. The bus driver and the schools principal also lost their jobs after the student and her family filed a Title IX complaint among the many changes that came about because a lesbian teen stood up for herself. Izzy Dieker was riding the bus home this past January 27 from North Lyon County Elementary School where she was in eighth grade. Other students were leaning out into the aisle and using profanity, but the bus driver, Kristi Gadino, didnt seem to care much about the language until Dieker said that shes a lesbian. Thats when Gadino pulled over and wrote up Dieker for unacceptable language, being rude, and not switching seats when told. When the teen talked to Principal Corey Wiltz, he told her that it was inappropriate to use the word lesbian near young students and she was suspended from riding the bus. Her family filed a Title IX complaint and an investigation found that there was a video of everything that happened that the principal didnt even review to find out that the bus driver wasnt telling the truth. Moreover, he still believed it was inappropriate to use the word lesbian in front of other children. In the video, other students on the bus used profanity and hate speech like gay-assed motherfucker, jerk me off, daddy, touch my dick, fucking *****, what the fuck, kill you, and stop putting your fucking camera in my face, according to the report. But Gadino didnt seem to care about anyones language until Dieker told a friend, Im a lesbian.* Stop now, Gadino told her. Its true, the teen responded. I dont care, watch your language, Gadino said. Yes, I speak English, Dieker said. Gadino pulled over and went to the back of the bus. Front row. I didnt say anything, Dieker said. Really? Gadino responded. Who said they were lesbian? Wasnt anything wrong with that, the teen said. Ive got little kids up here, the driver said. Do you think these little kindergartners need to know what that word means? The video shows that Dieker followed Gadino to the front of the bus. The driver lied about the incident in her report, saying that Dieker said that she was a fucking lesbian, continued to use profanity even after being told to stop, and didnt follow her to the front of the bus. Principal Wiltz didnt look at the video before siding with the bus driver and telling Dieker not to use the word lesbian. A teacher heard what happened and went to Wiltz to talk about it, asking the principal, If she had said, Im straight, would we be here? No, because its not inappropriate, Wiltz responded. In the weeks that followed the incident, a school librarian who made rainbow pins for teachers to wear in support of Dieker was fired, although he was not told that he was being fired in connection to the incident. A coach, a social worker, a cook, and three teachers resigned in protest. Dieker was the talk of the school for a time, and she said it kind of shocked me that there were boys at the school who took the principals side and used it to torment her with homophobic comments. She had to switch classrooms and get driven to her school by her parents even after her suspension ended to avoid the same bus driver and students. Patrick Stevenson is one of the teachers who resigned following the incident and he told the Kansas Reflector, I love the kid because she is so stinking smart. He said that boys at the school told anti-LGBTQ jokes because of Wiltzs actions. Diekers family filed a Title IX complaint and an independent investigation was launched, although her parents say they didnt know what the investigation was doing because of a lack of communication. The investigator released their official report in May, finding that both Wiltz and Gadino were responsible for sexual harassment of Dieker in violation of Title IX, which bans discrimination in education. President Joe Biden made it clear in an executive order earlier this year that Title IX applies to anti-LGBTQ discrimination. Their actions reflected that they fundamentally disapproved of her sexual orientation and, quite possibly, her as well. The student would likely internalize their disgust and general disapproval. The independent investigators report also said that it wasnt an isolated problem but a pervasive part of the school environment.
