NH Girls Soccer: Sexual Predators Welcome

by
Ann Marie Banfield

What have we learned over the last month about girls’ soccer in New Hampshire? In Bow, we learned that if a parent wears a pink wristband with XX on it to a girls’ soccer game, they will be issued a trespass order. In Kearsarge, we learned that if a parent is a child sexual predator attending the soccer game, they are welcome.

In case you missed it, a few Bow parents expressed their support for girls’ only sports by wearing a pink wristband with XX written on it. Superintendent Marcy Kelley issued a no-trespass order to those parents. Since that happened, the policy has been rescinded, but the parents are in court, charging the district with violating their free speech rights.

Kearsarge currently allows a biological male to play on the girls’ soccer team even though New Hampshire passed HB1205, which restricts biological males from playing on a girls’ team.
This means that when Kearsarge plays girls’ soccer, they are violating state law by allowing their trans student to play on the team. One has to wonder when it became acceptable for school administrators and coaches to ignore the laws passed in this state. Why are other schools continuing to allow their girls’ teams to play against Kearsarge?

But on top of all of this, a convicted child sexual predator attends the Kearsarge soccer games because his trans child plays on the girls’ soccer team. All of that is reported here. As Betsy Harrington asks, “Who is protecting our girls?

We have schools ignoring laws, child sexual predators attending soccer games, and no one is telling the parents anything.

In Hillsboro Deering, where a handful of girls refused to play against the Kearsarge team last week, many of the parents had no idea that Kearsarge had a biological male on the team, that Kearsarge was violating state law, and that their girls could be playing in front of a sexual predator who could be taking pictures of their daughters.

Let’s not also forget that Michael Bessette, Assistant Superintendent at Kearsarge, spoke in opposition to HB1419 this year. (1:13:30)

What was HB1419 about?

HB1419 would have prohibited X-rated content in the schools and would deny a sexual predator’s ability to access young children. Bessette and others came to the hearing to oppose a law that would restrict schools from providing sexually graphic content to children.

Did SAU16 (Exeter) and Kearsarge Administrators Inadvertently Approve of Child Sex Trafficking?


Asst. Superintendent Bessett said that educators are protecting children in his testimony before the NH House Education Committee. That’s almost laughable, knowing that a sexual predator who shares child pornographic pictures can watch these soccer games, and take pictures of the girls playing soccer.

We also know that school library apps are making x-rated content available to children and providing a path for children to connect with child sexual predators. If you want to see some of the pornography available to children today, follow this link. WARNING: It is graphic.

You can also watch the public hearing where Bessette defends child sexual abuse, by supporting the distribution of pornography to children here. ( 1:13:30)

During that hearing Sydney Leggett, from the New Hampshire School Administrators Assoc. Equity Committee, says that students have a right to access pornographic materials in the school. This Bill would infringe upon their rights, and deny them access to porn and materials that show children how to connect with sexual predators.

What can we conclude? Taxpayers in New Hampshire are paying schools to put children in harm’s way. They employ administrators, lobbyists, and staff to expose children to pornography and sexual predators.

Since it’s budget season in New Hampshire, now would be a good time to demand some resignations and request the district stop paying dues to organizations like the New Hampshire School Administrators Association. It school administrators believe they have money to spend on these initiatives, maybe they have too much to spend.
