Parent Trespassed from School After Wearing 'XX' Wristband to Girls' Game Against Trans Athlete

ANew Hampshire high school banned two parents from its grounds after they wore wristbands protesting boys participating in girls' sports. Two months later, the school remained adamant about its decision in a court hearing on Friday.
The controversy began in September when parents complained to the Bow High School athletic director about their daughters' soccer team having to compete against a team with a boy on the roster, the New Hampshire Journal reported.
“Where’s your courage? Where’s your integrity? Stand up for real women or get out of the way,” soccer dad Anthony Foote wrote in an email to athletic director Mike Desilets.
When the school told the parents nothing could be done because of the federal judge’s ruling that the word “girl” included males who identified as females, the parents took a stand at the next game on Sept. 17.
Multiple parents wore bright pink wristbands which read "XX," of course implying the fact that girls have two x chromosomes.
Officials stopped the game, demanding the parents remove the wristbands.
Police issued "No Trespassing" letters to Foote and fellow soccer dad Kyle Fellers.
Foote said he was banned from the school until Sept. 23, which meant missing his daughter's homecoming soccer game.
Superintendent of Schools Marcy Kelley signed the order, saying the pink wristbands violated the school's policy against “threatening, harassing, or intimidating … any person.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I bet the school allows rainbow flags, bracelets, etc which should be viewed as “threatening, harassing, or intimidating".

That sounds like a great accessory for XX girls to use during athletic events in the future. Hope that goes viral.
