Parents in Bow Face Bans Over Transgender Protest

Parents in Bow who wore pink armbands in protest of transgender athletes participating in girls’ school sports have been banned from school property by the local school district.

Anthony Foote and Kyle Fellers wore pink armbands emblazoned with ‘XX’ — a reference to the sex chromosomes associated with biological females — during Tuesday’s girls’ soccer match between Bow High School and Plymouth Regional High School, which had a transgender player.

Following the match, school officials issued no-trespass letters to the parents on Friday, stating they ‘participated and led the protest, which was designed to and had the effect of, intimidating, threatening, harassing, and discouraging’ a player from the opposing team.
