The student union for the University College of London has banned Robin Thicke’s catchy-but-controversial song “Blurred Lines” from campus, becoming the latest in a string of colleges to do so. More than 20 student unions have banned the song in the United Kingdom.

“We think student spaces should promote consent and not normalize rape culture, and believe we should start sending out strong messages to those who capitalize on misogyny on campuses,” declared the University of London in a statement.

Thicke responded to the growing controversy, telling the BBC, “I don’t think people got it out here in those positions of power. I think the kids get it. I just have to deal with that. I wrote it about my wife. She’s my good girl, and I know she wants it because we’ve been together for 20 years so I can vouch for that.”(Time)
