A 17-year-old gay student at Ruben S. Ayala High School in Chino Hills, Calif., was injured after being assaulted by another student, the culmination of what the student and his mother say is a year-long battle against bullying, discrimination, and administrative inaction. The senior, whom The Advocate is not identifying to protect his privacy, suffered back injuries after being physically attacked on September 6, while cleaning up his Gender and Sexuality Alliance club’s table during a school event.
