A federal judge in New Hampshire has sided with insanity and tried to silence parents who don’t want boys in girls sports.
Last September, polices officers were called on a group of parents who had daughters on the Bow High School (BHS) girls' soccer team after the adults wore pink wristbands with an “XX” inscription. The lettering on the bands was referring to typical female chromosomes, and the parents were wearing them in protest of their daughters being forced to play a game against Plymouth High School (PHS), which had 15-year-old Parker Tirrell, a male player, on their roster.
No other form of protest took place other than parents silently and peacefully wearing the wristbands.
Even still, local cops told the parents to take the wristbands off. When they didn’t, the referee paused the game and said BHS would have to forfeit if the bands weren’t removed, the lawsuit filed by the parents alleges. “No Trespass Orders” were then issued to two of the fathers after the game.
Does that seem like a breach of the First Amendment to you? It certainly does to me. But to U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe, there was nothing wrong about booting taxpaying parents from their kids' school for showing support for fairness in girls' sports.
On Monday, McAuliffe ruled that the Bow and Dunbarton School District did nothing wrong in how it handled the situation and said that the "no trespassing" orders were justified.
"While plaintiffs may very well have never intended to communicate a demeaning or harassing message directed at Parker Tirrell or any other transgender students, the symbols and posters they displayed were fully capable of conveying such a message," he wrote. "And, that broader messaging is what the school authorities reasonably understood and appropriately tried to prevent. The broader and more demeaning/harassing message the School District understood plaintiffs’ ‘XX’ symbols to convey was, in context, entirely reasonable.”

Institute for Free Speech attorney Del Kolde, who represents the parents involved, said he disagrees that the court’s ruling was valid.
"This was adult speech in a limited public forum, which enjoys greater First Amendment protection than student speech in the classroom," Kolde said. "Bow School District officials were obviously discriminating based on viewpoint because they perceived the XX wristbands to be ‘trans-exclusionary.’”
Even though Trump signed an executive order banning men from women’s sports, the fight to keep women’s sports free of men rages on.
