Summary
Jenn Mason, a Bellingham school board director who owns WinkWink Boutique, is set to host a June 24 “Uncringe Academy” class for children ages 9 to 12.
The 4.5-hour session will cover puberty, periods, gender and sexual identities, “paths to parenthood,” and defining sex and sexuality, with parents allowed to attend.
Event materials describe the program as “honest, supportive, and inclusive” and say it uses an “accepting, informing, and affirming” framework focused on empowerment rather than shame or fear.
Mason said the voluntary program was created in response to parent requests and that lessons on topics including consent and safer sex are adjusted to be developmentally appropriate for each age group.
The event has drawn scrutiny because Mason is an elected education official and her shop sells sex toys and other adult-themed products; WinkWink also hosted a queer youth open mic in 2022.
