Dylan Theno Awarded $440,000 After Years of Harassment at School

Dylan Theno, harassed with homophobic slurs from seventh grade, left high school during his junior year. Kansas’ Tonganoxie School District, which enforced its sexual harassment policy when female students were harassed, did nothing about the bullying of Dylan that occurred for years by classmates who believed he was gay.

PlanetOut reports that Dylan, who filed suit against the Tonganoxie School District in 2004, was awarded $440,000 in a settlement last Thursday.
