High School Turns Down Macklemore Visit, Surprisingly Not Because He's a Cheeseball
LatestA high school in California’s Orange County recently won a contest awarding them a visit from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, as well as a plump $10,000 grant for the school’s music department. But Aliso Niguel High School principal, Deni Christensen, declined both Mack and money because parents objected to the Ed Sheeran of rap on moral grounds.
According to Stereogum, Christensen “opted to turn down the prize because, per [The Orange County Register], ‘some parents said that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis support alcohol, drug use, and misogyny in their music.’”
