Key takeaway This payment is a result of the teenager being blocked from graduating and having her diploma withheld.
A settlement has been approved requiring a payment of $10,000 to a gay teenager. This payment is a result of the teenager being blocked from graduating and having her diploma withheld. The incident occurred after the teenager posted about her personal life on social media.
The teenager had posted an image with her girlfriend and made a comment that apparently sparked a reaction. School officials then met with the teenager and her parents, accusing her of making certain remarks. Further details about the incident and settlement are available from the source, including the events that led to the settlement approval on Monday.
