10k doesn’t feel like enough

Agreed, but it's already been a year, she probably didn't want this suit dragging out through her entire college career, which would be totally understandable. It just sucks that a $10k settlement coming out of the school's coffers isn't going to dissuade the principal and the "head of schools" from continuing to harass and threaten LGBTQ+ students in the future.

The school will use it as an excuse to double down.

"The gays COST us a FRUADULENT $10,000 settlement!1!1! THE LORD's word is under ATTACK!1!1!".
