'White power' hand gesture during a demonstration outside Bellingham business

Aug. 11—About a dozen protesters demonstrated in downtown Bellingham against a sex education series for youth, even though the "Uncringe Academy" classes taught by the owner of Wink Wink Boutique were moved to protect the students whose parents had enrolled them.

One participant at the demonstration repeatedly made "white power" hand gestures during the protest that started at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10, and lasted about three hours in front of Mo's Parlor, a Black-owned business across the street from Wink Wink, 1302 Commercial St.

Another protester with a shaved head wore body armor, carried a large folding knife, and was dressed in all brown — a uniform evocative of the Nazi Party's paramilitary wing, the Brown Shirts.

At least two other protesters live-streamed to social media and were unaware that the sex-ed classes were being taught with the consent of the parents whose children they had enrolled.
