No one is really surprised that Democrat run schools and a wackadoodle judge ruled that parents are forbidden from protesting, are they?
“I have asked my Civil Rights Division to examine this matter. This DOJ stands with women and their supportive parents,” Bondi said in response to a post from women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines about the case.
In September, several parents wore pink wristbands with “XX” on them as a sign of protest during a girls’ high school soccer game where trans-identifying male athlete Parker Tirrell, now 16, was playing on the other team.
Bow and Dunbarton School Districts Superintendent Marcy Kelley responded to the wristbands by issuing a notice of trespass against the parents, including Antony and Nicole Foote, Kyle Fellers, and Eldon Rash, according to local media reports. The no-trespass order has since expired.
That’s pretty much all they did: wear the wristbands. They were not yelling and screaming and causing problems and burning things and harassing or assaulting people, you know, what Democrats do. Wristbands.
The parents subsequently sued the school district, alleging that their First Amendment rights had been violated and asking the judge to allow them to carry signs and wear wristbands featuring “XX” at school events while the case is ongoing.
U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe, a President George H. W. Bush appointee, ultimately sided with the school district and said it acted reasonably in preventing parents from protesting.
Captured by the system much, Judge McAuliffe?
“While plaintiffs may very well have never intended to communicate a demeaning or harassing message directed at Parker Tirrell or any other transgender students, the symbols and posters they displayed were fully capable of conveying such a message,” he wrote. “And, that broader messaging is what the school authorities reasonably understood and appropriately tried to prevent.”
And, yet, the 1st Amendment allows that, especially when applied to people protesting the government, in this case for allowing fake women to compete against real women. And multiple sections of the New Hampshire constitution, in the Bill of Rights section, guarantee this type of protesting. Nothing excludes protesting at schools, and, if people are Offended, that’s on them. The Heckler’s Veto should not apply. Even the ACLU agrees.
The plaintiffs are moving on with their lives after the ruling. Maybe their kids have already left the school. But, the DOJ will be investigating, so, we’ll see what happens.

Trump administration sues Maine over transgender athletes in girls’ sports
The Trump administration on Wednesday sued Maine for not complying with the government’s push to ban transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports, escalating a dispute over whether the state is abiding by a federal law that bars discrimination in education based on sex.
The lawsuit follows weeks of feuding between the Republican administration and Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, leading to threats to cut off crucial federal funding and a clash at the White House when she told President Donald Trump: “We’ll see you in court.”
The political overtones of the moment were clear, with Attorney General Pam Bondi — and several athletes who joined her on stage at the Justice Department — citing the matter as a priority for Trump. Bondi said other states, including Minnesota and California, could be sued as well.
Why, exactly, are Democrat run states so intent on letting the gender confused compete against real women? In allowing them, encouraging them, to be in the locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms of real women? It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats were going overboard with Me Too and women’s rights.
Parker Tirell — and I have not been able to find if that’s his real name, or something made up when he decided he is a girl — actually looks like a girl. He’s only 15, and has apparently been doing this for a while now. I have seen nothing to say that he has been stomping real girls in athletics.
But while we’ve had several stories about men like Will Thomas, a 6’3″
manmale stomping the real women in competition, this is not about whether the boys who claim to be girls are physically better than the girls, but about the actual truth: the boys who think that they’re girls are still not girls, they’re still boys. Sex is and ought to be a bright-line delineation. To quote our curmudgeonly liberal commenter, Elwood P Dowd, we should follow the science, and the science is clear: XY = male, XX = female, and unfortunate conception or developmental defects do not change that.I think I have to stand on the side of the trans athlete. Currently, he/she is just doing what he or she is allowed to do by law.
Parents sitting in the stands, protesting, is intimidating to the athlete.
Now don’t get me wrong. I am opposed to men playing women’s sports. No matter how many drugs they take, they still have the lung capacity and bone density and strength of a male. No where is this more evident that the guy breaking all of the womens NCAA records by a mile even though her/his body is filled with testosterone reducing drugs.
Its not fair for girls, but still everyone has rights and people protesting Jews in school reminds me of what these parents are doing to this girl/boy?
Just my two cents.
School athletics were designed for women. Girls bathrooms were designed for the privacy that women desire. Women can obtain scholarships based on athletic ability. Women loose all these things by allowing mentally I’ll men to participate in their activities.
A good rule of thumb is to understand that if you are XX, you are a woman. If XY, a male. If you are a male and desire to be a woman, you are mentally ill and no amount of hormone or surgery can change facts.
Sorry, was pulled away. Now Fat Jeff goes on about various sexual ambiguities. These exist, but at sometime you must draw a line and the traditional definition fits. By the way, fat Jeff is just a pharmacist with little medical knowledge.
My response was not about the right or wrong of trans athletes competing against women.
My response is to the parents who are harrassing and intimidating the student during a game that in her state/school district she/he has been granted the right to compete.
This is, to me, not much different than protestors confronting Jewish kids on college campuses in an attempt to stop them from doing what they are, by law, allowed to do.
That is my simple point.
I guess to break it down even further. I would never stoop to leftist tactics of thugery and intimidation and would hope the right does not stoop to this either.
I am all for LEGISLATE, LITIGATE and REGULATE and executive orders, but not thuggery to intimidate someone despite my blood boiling from time to time over leftist tactics.
I understand your point. My definition demonstrates mine, honed since the 70s when we put this to bed. Nothing but contempt should be afforded these people.
