all these creatures understand.

(perhaps with the consistent bullying? possible, if reported and recognized.)
But it kind of sounds like the transphobia is being driven by elected state officials?

And as for this child's injuries - she was taken by guardian to hospital. Released. Then returned the next day. Would school staff be more culpable than medical professionals at discerning serious injury?
(maybe I haven't seen the most complete account of how this all went down?)

A student goes to school alive and well. They endure a severe beating, and the injuries from that beating cause them to die the next day

If this was an isolated incident it's bad enough: a student has died. If there's been a history prior to this, that only makes it worse

They flat-out failed to protect a student. Fuck yes find the school liable

Worst of all is once again the "protect children" crowd failed to protect a child all because they weren't the right kind of child

is not so much liability (although I think that is another discussion that could bear threshing out)
As questioning the premise borne in your last sentence

"Worst of all is once again the "protect children" crowd failed to protect a child all because they weren't the right kind of child "

I'm not sure that the teachers and school system are at all on board with the, as you put it, "wrong kind of child" hysteria and witch hunt. Most educators that I'm familiar with have very little time for this sort of crap. And in fact, are thoroughly heartsick that this noxious nonsense is making it's way into their schools. As I tried to point to in my post - the genesis for this garbage being crammed down their throats - is the Governor and the Mom's for Liberty wackos. And almost certainly not the teachers. (at least none that I've run across) (and I'd be sincerely surprised to find the teacher's union is fostering this ugliness. you?)

I wish you were as concerned about that as you are trying to protect this school from their failure to ensure the safety of their students

Especially since their failure has now caused a 16 year old to have their future and life taken from them

preclude any measure of sympathy or concern for the victim in this case. That wasn't ever the intent, and I'm sorry you came away with that impression.

I will allow that I have rarely encountered an educator (of any stripe) that wouldn't be absolutely heart-stricken should anything even remotely like this take place on their watch. And so - stand by that part of my previous posts. In my experience, beating up on the schools (or the teachers) is generally neither very productive - nor, in most cases, really even effectively targeting the true problems.
(and I suspect - while admittedly not having a great deal of detail to work with - that this might also be such a case)

...in that state are responsible. All they do is promote hate in Oklahoma. This is the result.

That fucking witch is the root of all this shit along with the GOP in Okie Dokie shit hole Homa.

Rest in peace sweet Nex. I am so sorry there are so many ignorant asswipes in the world.

This is the result of years of anti-trans rhetoric.

We have the gop state legislatures with their Anti-Trans, and don't say gay, legislation. Working hard to stigmatize our young people, who are Trans and lgbtq+. This type of fixation on on others peoples personal lives, and things that these legislators can't get their warped brains to comprehend, act to delegitimize through legislation the inherent dignity, self determination, richness of being and experience that Trans people have. It's a cruel, non beneficial activity, that these legislators are embracing, and making into law, seeking to marginalize certain citizens.
