Homophobic rapper barred from university appearance
Rap star Elephant Man has been banned from appearing at Alfred University in New York because of lyrics that advocate violence against gay people. Jerry Brody, vice president for Student Affairs says, "While Alfred University supports freedom of speech, I feel this performance would not represent an appropriate use of University funds and facilities. Alfred University has been and remains committed to identifying and bringing to campus performers who reflect the various cultural backgrounds of our students. We are confident in our ability to do this without involving performers who advocate violence." RainbowNetwork
