I can’t wait to see what’s on the agenda for next week.

ATHENS, Ga. – A University of Georgia student group took a field trip to Atlanta on Saturday to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic and peruse a two-story adult sex shop.
The trip was undertaken by SHAG, or the Sexual Health Advocacy Group, a student-fee funded activism group whose recent endeavors also include protests of campus pro-life displays and sexual health awareness campaigns featuring anthropomorphized condoms and seasonal themes like “Wrap that Hallowiener.”
In announcing its outing, SHAG told its members “our morning will start off with a regional cross dressers support group meeting … followed by a three-hour reproductive justice training at Planned Parenthood, and conclude with a stop at Inserection adult store,” according to an email invitation obtained by The College Fix. “A pizza lunch will be provided!”
Seventeen students and one University Health Center employee carpooled to Atlanta, about a 90-minute drive from Athens, for the day-long trip. SHAG officials did not respond to repeated requests to speak about their excursion, nor did Katy Janousek, a sexual health specialist at the University Health Center and SHAG’s faculty adviser.
Thomas Jackson Jr., vice president for public affairs at UGA, told The College Fix the trip held academic value.
“As future health educators and counselors, they study and learn about a wide range of matters so as to gain accurate information and learn best practices in providing health education and counseling to the public,” Jackson said by email. “The visit to Planned Parenthood and an adult store was chosen by the students so that they might get an understanding of the types of issues with which they’ll be working as future health educators and counselors.”
Inserection is an adult sex shop that sells a wide variety of items, including vibrators, edible underwear, pornography, pipes and water bongs, and lingerie. At night, the downstairs portion of Inserection becomes a sex club complete with “gloryholes,” according to multiple YELP reviewers, with one noting “this is not for the faint at heart … This place is JUMPING on the weekend for all you freaks out there.”
