ALLENDALE, Michigan (LifeSiteNews) — Grand Valley State University (GVSU) has decided to relocate a blasphemous piece of “art” that weaponizes the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to promote social justice and LGBT ideology. 

On Wednesday LifeSite spoke with multiple officials at Grand Valley who confirmed the mural has been removed from the KirkhofCenter on campus in Allendale, Michigan,following outcry from Christian students, lawmakers, and the general public.

In a statement released Wednesday morning, Grand Valley said it will be “relocating the piece to a space where it can be presented with greater context.”

“It is our goal to display art in a way that productively allows for the pursuit of knowledge, empathy, and social understanding and we will continue to work to create processes that help us achieve that goal,” read a statement approved by Chris Knape, the school’s assistant vice president of communications.
