Anti-trans wristbands

CONCORD, N.H. — Ruling that high school soccer games are limited public forums, a New Hampshire federal court ruled that a school may place reasonable restrictions on otherwise protected speech by students and families at games. Protesters were wearing pink wrist bands with “XX” on them, but only at soccer games where trans girls were on the opponent team, which the school district found to be a “demeaning, bullying message” contrary to the district’s “pedagogical goals,” so it is not protected by the First Amendment at the government’s soccer fields.
