A parent complained about a first-grade teacher reading books promoting pro-LGBT views to her students, and the teacher and the school district board reportedly refused to address her concerns, according to Young America’s Foundation (YAF).

The school district board’s president runs an “all-ages” sex shop and describes herself as its “Head Dildo” on her Instagram profile, according to YAF.

YAF first reported the story after they received an anonymous tip through their Campus Bias Tip Line.

According to screenshots of emails YAF provided to the Daily Caller, a student’s parent had written to Jennifer Miller, a 1st grade teacher in Bellingham School District, Washington State, complaining that the teacher was reading books promoting “gender dysphoria” in class without the knowledge of the students’ parents.

The book that was being read to the “six and seven-year-old students,” according to YAF, was “I Am Jazz” which discusses how a two-year-old biological male starts ‘transitioning’ into a female, with his parents’ support.

When a parent included a screenshot of the book and emailed Miller, according to YAF, asking if she read the book to first graders, the teacher replied that she did.

Miller further replied by writing, according to the screenshots,“as a district we are working hard to support all members of our school community and promote inclusion through understanding and compassion.”

The parents then took the matter to the Bellingham Public Schools school district board.

According to YAF and a screenshot they provided to the Daily Caller, the school board acknowledged receiving the complaint and having sent it to “each of the board members” and “the superintendent.” Yet, they have refused to take action, according to YAF.

YAF then conducted an investigation of Jenn Mason, the President of Bellingham Public Schools, and found that Mason owns and runs an “all-ages” sex toy shop.

According to the website of Bellingham Public Schools, Mason has been the school board’s President since 2017, having “worked for 15 years on behalf of families and children, including as a community educator and trauma counselor in public schools.”

When YAF looked through her Instagram profile, they found her promoting her sex shop in multiple posts.

Mason’s Instagram profile has now been set to private though her bio still describes her as “Head Dildo” at “Wink Wink,” the name of her store. 

Screenshots YAF provided to the Daily Caller show an Instagram post where she appears to be talking of “holding a vibrator” and of her sex shop.

In an article by local outlet The Western Front from 2018, she is quoted as saying that “while the store only sells to those ages 16 and older, people of any age can be in the store.”

Neither Mason nor the school board’s superintendent, Greg Baker, have responded to the parent’s complaints, YAF reported.

According to YAF, when one parent approached Baker, he refused to communicate with him over email, and instead asked for a phone call. When that parent asked if he could record the conversation, Baker declined the idea of the phone call, YAF reported.

The school board and the state board did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment. 

“It’s no surprise that someone like Mason, who promotes sex toys to children of ‘all-ages,’ would ignore concerns about pushing far-left gender identity politics in the classroom,” wrote YAF spokeswoman Kara Zupkus in the YAF report. “Mason’s qualifications to serve in a role advising the education and curriculum of young children should be questioned–and parents should make their voices heard.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
