From Fox News: A federal judge in New Hampshire is siding with a local school district in preventing parents from wearing armbands on school property in support of biological girls-only sports.
In September, the parents wore pink-colored “XX” wristbands during a high school soccer game where transgender athlete Parker Tirrell, now 16, was playing on an opposing team. The wristbands referenced the sex chromosomes associated with biological females.
The protest led to Bow and Dunbarton School Districts Superintendent Marcy Kelley issuing a notice of trespass against parents Anthony and Nicole Foote, along with Kyle Fellers and Eldon Rash, according to the New Hampshire Journal.
The parents then sued the school district, claiming their First Amendment rights were violated. While the no-trespass orders have since expired, they asked the judge to allow them to carry signs and wear the wristbands featuring the symbol for female chromosomes at school events while the case proceeds.
On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe, a President George H. W. Bush appointee, ruled that the district acted reasonably in its decision to prevent parents from protesting.

Back in October, Chinese American Lily Tang Williams, a conservative who warns against communism, shared a photo and explained, “I met 2 fathers at my Town Hall tonight in Bow. They were banned from watching their daughter’s soccer games after wearing pink XX band to protest against a transgender athlete playing on girls team due to safety concerns. They sued [the] school for free speech violations. Dad bears!”

Now a judge has ruled against them.
Federal judge Steven McAuliffe ruled: “The symbolic message included a demeaning and harassing assertion — an assertion of inauthenticity, falsity and nonexistence with respect to some students’ core and immutable characteristics.”
