Oklahoma school accused of violating law after teen girl 'severely beaten' by trans student in bathroom
Fox News
Edmond Public Schools claims they were not aware that the student using the girls' bathroom was a biological male, which is in violation of state law.
"It's pretty traumatizing," Gooden said Friday. "It wasn't a regular fight, it was a beatdown." Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.
Gooden filed a lawsuit last week seeking $75,000 in damages for "severe physical and mental injuries, severe physical and mental pain and suffering, and severe emotional distress" that she claims her child suffered at the hands of the 17-year-old student at Edmond Memorial High School in October 2022.
