A New Hampshire superintendent has banned a parent from attending their child's soccer games after the parent was caught protesting a transgender student's inclusion in girls' sports.

The Bow School District banned the parent after a group they were in allegedly targeted and harassed a transgender student, local news WMUR reported.

Prior to the game, the district had warned the parents that their actions would not align with the rules of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body that oversees school athletics.

Following the game, the district issued a no-trespass order, which stated that the protest was "designed to and had the effect of intimidating, threatening, harassing, and discouraging the student from playing." It added, "The District had to obtain additional police presence to ensure order.

"You are hereby prohibited from entering the buildings, grounds and property of the Bow School District," the order continued. "You are also prohibited from attending any Bow School District athletic or extra-curricular [sic] event, on or off school grounds."

There was reportedly still sportsmanship at the game as many girls came up to support the trans girl's inclusion. "Some of the fellow soccer players from Bow actually sent supportive letters of love and support and encouraging that student to continue to play," said Hawkins.
