The First Circuit sides with parents punished for wearing pink “XX” wristbands to their daughters’ soccer game to protest transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ sports.
It was a silent protest. There was no evidence of disruption or harassment of any player. As the court recognized, school officials sought to suppress a viewpoint on a contested issue. But “administrators cannot favor one side of a debate involving parental speech on an issue of prominent public concern, and which, in those parents’ views, concerned the safety of their children.”
That violates the First Amendment.
Great win by
