Some parents of girls playing high school soccer in New Hampshire don't want them playing against male-bodied athletes. Well, who would? Answer: the school wants it.
Objections from the parents went nowhere. But they did not disrupt the games in any way. All they did was to wear pink wristbands with XX on them.
The school went ballistic. "They stopped the game, demanded the pink armbands be removed, and issued police-enforced “No Trespassing” orders against at least two parents."
"My daughter’s playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and I’m banned until the 23rd,” said Anthony Foote of Bow, N.H. “I can’t watch her play in homecoming — which is ridiculous.”
It's ridiculous, it's unfair, and it has to stop. How any otherwise rational human being can force girls to compete against male-bodied opponents is really beyond me. Read the account.
