Education Department Launches Investigation into Oklahoma School District Following Student's Death

The Department of Education is investigating Owasso Public Schools following a complaint from the Human Rights Campaign alleging discrimination against students, including Nex Benedict, a member of the 2SLGBTQ community who died after a fight with other students. The district denies the allegations and emphasizes its commitment to student safety. The investigation comes amid calls for justice and action from Nex's family and advocacy groups, as well as controversy surrounding the state Superintendent's response to the situation.
