A little over a month has passed since the notorious sex toy demonstration at Northwestern University, but it doesn't look like things are completely settled on the Northwestern front. Actually, the whole ordeal is coming back to kick NU in the butt a little bit, as a church in Tennessee has refused to host a group of volunteers from NU over spring break because of the demonstration.

The students who were planning on volunteering in Tennessee had no direct involvement in the sex toy demonstration and were not students in the controversial course. Regardless of the students' level of involvement, Community Baptist Church's pastor Clifton Roth still refused to host the students after initially agreeing to let them camp on church grounds while they were in town to help build a nature hall in the town.

Last time we checked, Professor J. Michael Bailey apologized for the explicit demonstration and Northwestern University president Morton Schapiro began an investigation into the demonstration.
