Where else but progressive run Washington state would you find a school board director who wants to take fourth graders on a field trip to the sex shop? It’s okay, Jenn Mason insists. She owns the place. One can only imagine what the permission slip for that one says.
Sex shop show and tell
It’s already a done deal on paper. The Bellingham School District is teaching a class for 9- to 12-year-olds meant to be “an introduction to topics related to relationships, puberty, bodies, and sexuality.” The director of that board, Jenn Mason, also happens to own the WinkWink sex shop in Bellingham.
Everyone went ballistic when they announced the district will “will teach sex education classes for children as young as 9,” with such subjects as “sexual anatomy for pleasure” and “safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities.”
It’s really important, the Democrat district explains, for pre-teens to “focus on what makes healthy vs. unhealthy friendships and romantic relationships.” That means covering “the science of how puberty works, consent and personal boundaries.”

Because we now have a multitude of gender “options,” they have to start “defining ‘sex‘, and discussing why people may or may not choose to engage in sexual activities.” A trip to the sex shop is part of the lesson plan. In fact, it’s the classroom.
Ms. Mason officially announced “four, three-hour sex education classes held at WinkWink next month.” They’re calling the event the “Uncringe Academy.” Parents cringe every time they hear the phrase.
Jenn Mason will personally demonstrate all the gadgets and gear on her sex shop shelves in separate lectures. The classes will be “broken down by age, with 9- to 12-year-olds in one class and 13- to 17-year-olds in another class.” The youngsters get the basics while the adolescents learn pro tips like how to select the best bondage equipment.
All inclusive sex education
The lecture venue, WinkWink, is described by the district as a “woman-owned, identity-inclusive sex shop” that is “sex-positive, body-positive, and gender-affirming.”
They go on to assure parents that Uncringe Academy will offer “honest, supportive, and inclusive sex education classes to help young people of all genders and sexual identities understand this important part of their life.” With instructive aids for hands on experience, it seems.
Ms. Mason has already been called on to defend the practice and she sees nothing wrong with any of it. Teaching “safer sex practices” to 9- to 12-year-olds is essential. It’s a lesson “not generally covered as a main topic.”
Kids have had to learn it in the bushes behind the playground for eternity. If someone took kids to the sex shop back in the 1950’s maybe White people wouldn’t be so uptight. Sex today isn’t like it was when people wanted to have kids and continue humanity as a species.
Now, sex is “something with no set definition.” One person’s definition of sex can be a lot different from another’s. “There’s no such thing as ‘real‘ sex, and it’s OK if your definition of sex is different from someone else’s.” She also insists she has all the credentials required by the state to indoctrinate young children. She’s an educator and also a “certified sex coach.”
The shop is just a side line. When she’s not brainwashing the next generation, she “holds other classes and coaching lessons” to help the community work out their “intimacy goals.” The district puts a little asterisk at the end of the handout which explains, “Mason serves as board director for the Bellingham School District, but the upcoming sex education classes will be held in her personal capacity as a local business owner, not as a school official.” That’s to keep their lawyers happy.
