School board in West Virginia voted not to renew the contract of a school official who had been temporarily suspended late last year for allegedly harassing a transgender male student. - NBCOUT
Lee Livengood, an assistant principal at Liberty High School, allegedly followed Michael Critchfield, 15, into the boys' bathroom last November and told him, “You freak me out.”
Livengood was suspended without pay for four days in December before returning to Liberty High. The American Civil Liberties Union's West Virginia chapter called the suspension"not sufficient."RelatedCritchfield, who said he was traumatized by the incident, recalled Livengood repeatedly yelling: “Why are you in here? You shouldn’t be in here.”
Critchfield replied it was his legal right to use that bathroom. He said Livengood used improper pronouns when referring to Critchfield and challenged him to use a urinal to prove that he was a boy. “I felt really degraded and discriminated against,” Critchfield said, adding that school “should feel like a safe place."
"Kids like me should never have to go through anything like this," he added."At the end of the day all I wanted was to feel welcome.”
