#NexBenedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary student and member of the Choctaw nation, tragically lost their life earlier this month following a physical altercation at their Oklahoma school. Nex, a victim of bullying due to their gender identity, succumbed to the consequences of a hostile environment. Our Chief Impact Officer, Terra Russell-Slavin, decries the impact of bigoted policies on students’ safety and education, saying, “Every child deserves the freedom to express themselves freely without fear for their safety—at school or anywhere else.” Swipe to read Nex’s story and the broader issues it reveals.
