It added, The District had to obtain additional police presence to ensure order. The District had to order you to remove the armbands and as a result of your protest and other actions, play was temporarily stopped.You are hereby prohibited from entering the buildings, grounds and property of the Bow School District, the order continued. You are also prohibited from attending any Bow School District athletic or extra-curricular [sic] event, on or off school grounds.One parent told WMUR that they support the decision, stating theres no room for the type of disruptions created by those parents. Other parents claimed their protest created no disruption at all. One of the parents involved in the protest, Anthony Foote, said, My daughters playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and Im banned until the 23rd. I cant watch her play in homecomingwhich is ridiculous.He then went on to misgender the trans student, and admit that the student posed no threat to his daughter but claimed that theres some danger for next time the student plays against other girls.Zandra Hawkins, executive director of Granite State Progress, said to WMUR, These kids are here to play matches. They all want to get on the field and play, so to have adults in the community making it something that it shouldnt be, as you know, just harmful to all the kids on the field.Schools should be places of learning and belonging, and no one, especially adults, should be threatening, intimidating, harassing students or any other person, whether its verbally or by their actions, Hawkins added. Doing so not only harms that student whos being targeted, but every other kid who sees that happening on the sidelines. As a society, we expect more from adults, especially parents, at a youth soccer game.There was reportedly still sportsmanship at the game as many girls came up to support the trans girls inclusion. Some of the fellow soccer players from Bow actually sent supportive letters of love and support and encouraging that student to continue to play, said Hawkins.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
