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.”
NBCOUT Can you maybe include in the headline the part where the Vice Principal DEMANDED THAT A MINOR PEE IN FRONT OF HIM?
NBCOUT I bet 20 years ago if someone said people would be fired and banned from public life for saying a girl isnt a boy no one would have believed you.
NBCOUT The demagogues often have a secret life.
NBCOUT What a shame.
NBCOUT Souls have the right to choose their destiny ... but remember God is innate in all of us... choose wisely to be invited back to eternal life!
