"Allegations that the River East Transcona School Division discriminated against transgender elementary school student Bella Burgos will go to a Manitoba Human Rights Commission public hearing, her father says.

The commission sent Dale Burgos an email saying staff believe there is enough evidence of discrimination to bring the case before an adjudicator and a public hearing, he said.

​Dale Burgos says in 2014, Bella, then 8, was bullied by a parent at the school who told the transgender girl that she could not use the girls' washroom."
