BOSTON (AP) — A Boston University student organization is calling on the school to cancel an upcoming concert by Robin Thicke over what it calls the singer's sexist lyrics, but school officials say that is unlikely.

By Thursday, about 1,400 people had signed an online petition started by the Humanists of Boston University.

The petition says, "It is a dishonor to our feminist history to symbolically idolize Robin Thicke by allowing him to perform his misogynist music at our university," and that Thicke's hit song, "Blurred Lines," ''celebrates having sex with women against their will."
