New Hampshire parent banned for wearing armband in support of women's sports to his daughter's game | 20 Sept 2024 | A New Hampshire parent is speaking out after he says he was banned from school grounds for wearing pink "XX" armbands in support of women's sports at his daughter's soccer game this week when a biological male was reportedly playing on the opposing team. Anthony Foote of Bow, New Hampshire, told the New Hampshire Journal he received a notice of trespass from Bow and Dunbarton School Districts Superintendent Marcy Kelley after he wore armbands in support of girls-only sports to his daughter's high school soccer game Tuesday. "My daughter's playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and I’m banned until the 23rd," Foote told the publication. The issue began when several parents complained to Bow High School Athletic Director Mike Desilets after they learned a player from Plymouth Regional High School was a biological male playing for the girls varsity team. According to the report, some parents arrived at Tuesday's game wearing the armbands, but the game was stopped and school officials demanded the armbands be removed. The report states Foote and at least one other parent were issued "police-enforced 'no trespassing' orders." [Hopefully, Mr. Foote sues these school districts into oblivion.]
