Washington school board director, sex shop owner host sex-ed event for kids as young as 9

A Washington school board director who owns a sex shop is helping host a sex education event for children as young as 9 years old, drawing scrutiny over the program's content and the role of an elected education official in promoting it.

Jenn Mason, the owner of WinkWink Boutique, which describes itself as a "woman-owned, inclusive, ‘not creepy’" sex shop in Bellingham, WA, about half an hour from Seattle, is hosting an "Uncringe Academy" for 9- to 12-year-old children on June 24.

The event will cover gender and sexual identities, puberty, periods, the "paths to parenthood: the many ways to have a baby," and "defining sex and sexuality," among other topics.

"There's a lot to learn when it comes to bodies, puberty, sex, gender, and relationships," the description for the event reads. "That's why WinkWink created ‘Uncringe Academy’: honest, supportive, and inclusive sex education classes to help young people and their families understand this important part of their life."

The event, which parents can attend, features a 4.5-hour class for kids "that's based in empowerment and information, rather than shame, fear, and judgment."

"We use an accepting, informing, and affirming framework," the event description reads. "Our focus is helping young people to feel comfortable around these topics so that they can advocate for their own bodies, health, and well-being."

She was elected to the school board in November 2017 and subsequently re-elected in 2021, according to her bio on the Bellingham Public Schools website, and also has a daughter who attends Bellingham Public Schools.

No one is forcing anyone to go to this. It doesn’t sound like it has public funding. I would assume this person’s job was known during their campaign.

So, if you oppose this then you should not send your kid there. You should run to oppose this person next time they run. At the least you should work to defeat them.

Other than that…there isn’t much you can do about it.

In what way is it ‘not creepy’?

Anything commercial or “non-profit” like that should be legally banned - no, our children are not to be propagandized by you.

Yes, they want to propagandize children into not being “ashamed” of doing things parents teach them not to do.

“Other than that…there isn’t much you can do about it.”

Speak out against it. Start with that.

Also, have a vice squad officer go undercover, but don’t arrest anyone unless they violate a law - or a rule, regulation, or a government policy.

If a kid uses his fingers to make a representation of a pistol, nail him and all the adults.

John Candy played a sex shop owner with a big cobra tattoo on his face in an old SCTV bit. His tag line at the end of his ad was “Remember to stop by Larry’s Sex Shop! I’m the guy with the snake on his face!”

Given the generation I grew up in, if 9 year old me was forced to attend this I believe my first response during the event would be, “this is gay”.
