As a district we are working hard to support all members of our school community and promote inclusion through understanding and compassion.\u201d Zupkus reported, \u201cConcerned parents reached out to school administrators and the school board, both of whom refused to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/i-am-jazz-jessica-herthel\/1118663305\">overview for the book<\/a> \u201cI Am Jazz\u201d states, \u201cFrom the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl\u2019s brain in a boy\u2019s body. She loved pink and\u00a0dressing up as a mermaid\u00a0and didn\u2019t feel like herself in boys\u2019 clothing. This confused her family, until they took her to\u00a0a doctor\u00a0who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zupkus noted that Jennifer Mason, president of the Bellingham School Board, owns and operates WinkWink, a sex boutique in downtown Bellingham which, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernfrontonline.com\/2018\/10\/31\/get-sex-positive-at-winkwink\/\">The Western Front<\/a>, is a \u201cgender-inclusive, woman-owned, all-ages sex shop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mason stated, \u201cI always thought that maybe I\u2019d one day run for office, and maybe one day I would open a store, but I didn\u2019t expect that those could happen at the same time.\u201d\u00a0The store reportedly offered informational classes on topics including \u201cIntro to Vibrators\u201d to \u201cButt Stuff Basics.\u201d Mason boasted, \u201cMany of us become adults that are still lacking in the language and information to have the type of sex life that we\u2019d like to have. The classes are really to help broaden people\u2019s understanding and skills,\u201d adding, \u201cI\u2019ve always done important work, but I really wanted to do something that was important and fun. There are few things more fun than getting to talk to people about sex all day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a lifelong feminist and all of the work that I have ever done has been focused on people who have been marginalized,\u201d Mason stated. \u201cI\u2019m always going to do my best to center marginalized people. \u201cAll of us need to have our eyes wide open about the ways that conservatives want to legislate our bodies and that their actions will impact the people who are already more marginalized,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMason, who has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bellinghamschools.org\/about\/school-board\/meet-the-board\/\">held<\/a>\u00a0her presidential position since 2017, was approached by concerned parents about pushing transgenderism on their first-grade children. She did not provide a response to their concerns,\u201d Zupkus wrote. \u201cAn angry parent went so far as reaching out to Bellingham Public Schools superintendent, Greg Baker, with his concerns. Baker refused to engage over email with the parent, and instead requested a phone call\u2013but shut down the idea once the parent asked if he could record the call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
