It seems that no tradition is safe from the political correctness brigade. And, apparently, even the word “man” can now offend — sorry — marginalize some people.

University Changes Fight Song to Make it More ‘Inclusive’ After Sexism Complaints

The University of Utah has agreed to change the lyrics to its 114-year-old “Utah Man” fight song after some students complained it was sexist and oppressive – this despite the fact that most people who weighed in on the issue did not want it to be altered.

But the old lyrics “marginalized” some students and the campus wanted to be more “inclusive,” an administrator the Salt Lake Tribune.

The new lyrics were developed by a committee of faculty, students and alumni after the student government in April passed a resolution declaring the “Utah Man” song “can reasonably be interpreted as (a) reminder of a status given to male students or men as representatives of all students, even though many students … do not identify as men or being a man.”

The students also voted to change a stanza in that song that proclaimed “our coeds are the fairest.”

“This phrase can be reasonably interpreted as objectifying women on campus while also supporting a hierarchy built on complexion and skin tone, privileging a light or ‘fair’ appearance,” the resolution stated.

The newly released changes – which the university says are voluntary – adds the word “man” with “fan,” (people can choose which one they prefer), updates “our coeds are the fairest” with “our students are the finest,” and changes “no other gang of college men” with “no rival band of college fans,” Fox News reports.
