Utah School Fears ‘Cougars’ Offensive

A Utah school district decided not to select a cougar as the mascot of a new high school partly because school officials and some parents believed the word is disrespectful to women. Students in the Canyons School District named the cougar their top choice to become the mascot of the new Corner Canyon High School. The school is expected to open in 2013. However, district officials overrode the student vote after complaints that that the word “cougar” is offensive and derogatory towards women/ Todd Starnes , Fox News. More here.
