The transgender teen activist who has inspired so many through her LGBT advocacy work had a short and sweet response after a Wisconsin elementary school nixed plans for students to read her new book.
In November, officials at Wisconsin's Mount Horeb Primary Center announced that students would be reading Jazz Jennings' book, I Am Jazz. In a letter to parents, faculty members explained that the book was particularly beneficial to students because a transgender girl attends the school.
"We believe all students deserve respect and support regardless of their gender identity and expression, and the best way to foster that respect and support is through educating students about the issue of being transgender," the letter read, according to Seventeen.
Some parents, however, felt differently, and contacted the Liberty Counsel, a conservative Florida-based non-profit, which has been designated as an anti-LGBT hate group. Liberty Counsel officials responded by threatening to take legal action against the school for "subjecting impressionable children to confusion about something as important as gender and sexuality." By Nov. 25, the school district officially canceled plans to read I Am Jazz, but said it will give the local board of education the opportunity to address the situation, Time magazine reported.
But Jennings, who's faced plenty of opposition before, didn't seem too fazed by the issue. The 15-year-old star of the TLC series, "I Am Jazz," shared a link to the news on her official Facebook page with just a single word as her status.
Perfectly said, Jazz!
