Ohio LGBTQ+ students face threats and harassment at Fairmont High School.

Two Ohio school districts are facing debates on LGBTQ+ inclusion after gender-fluid high school students were crowned prom king and queen, and a neighboring district removed protections for LGBTQ+ students. A 42-year-old man is facing charges for threatening LGBTQ+ students who attend Kettering Fairmont High School. Meanwhile, the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek School Board of Education removed anti-harassment protections for LGBTQ+ students during a five-hour long meeting where dozens of students and community members testified. The two incidents reflect ongoing conversations in schools and statehouses nationwide as lawmakers propose a record-breaking number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
