A 13-year-old girl in Kansas was kicked off her school bus for saying she was a lesbian. According to
“Once I got home my dad told me he got a call from the school that I was kicked off for saying ‘I’m a lesbian’,” said Dieker, who is in the eighth grade and out to her classmates and family.
Dieker’s mother, Tasha Cooper, said she has yet to receive a satisfactory response from the district about what happened and why. A report alleged that Americus School Principal Corey Wilitz was a part of the decision. This was not the first time Dieker received abuse for her sexuality, but then it was from other students and not faculty and staff.
