Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI cancels New Pornographers show because of their name
The college released a statement explaining, “after weeks of discussion and consideration, the irony of the band’s name was impossible to explain to many. The band’s name, to some, is mistakenly associated with pornography. Consequently, Calvin, to some, was mistakenly associated with pornography. Neither the college nor the band endorses pornography.”
Does that surprise you after Hope College banned a screening of Milk because it promoted homosexuality? Or after Zeeland banned Harry Potter because of its association with witchcraft?
Keep in mind, however, Christian offshoots of West Michigan do not fully represent West Michigan.
