DRAPER, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) – One Utah school district believes a cougar mascot would be insensitive to women.
The Canyons School District overrode the students top choice of a cougar mascot for their high school that is to be completed in 2013.
Would-be Corner Canyon High School students chose the Cougars as their mascot — a name principal Mary Bailey said carries an ugly connotation that is disrespectful to women.

In popular culture, the cougar is a sexually aggressive middle-aged woman who attracts younger men.
The school board, which consists of six men and one woman, thought the Charger would be more appropriate, which was on the ballot but failed to appeal to students as the cougar had.

This is so f'n stupid.


My daughter will enter HS next year and move from a MS Colt to a HS Cougar. That is their mascot.

Seattle for one has welcomed them with open arms.
I've gotta get myself a new 2012 map of the U.S.A. My old one doesn't have Utah north of California.

If all those lefty kooks and illegals keep leaving California for Draper, Utah, it won't be long before Draper's not 85% Mormon.

Not confused about who would find the stereotype of woman "cougar" more offensive, a feminist liberal or a rigid "proper role of women" conservative. That's your confusion.

Maybe some Utahans can add here, but it's my understanding that Utah still has a very conservative culture, and liberal transplants are the exceptions, not the ones making school policy.

Would you say that BYU's policy of forbidding Sunday play on its sports fields (if that rule still holds) is an example of liberal PC run amok?

Sounds like someone just got wind of a trend word...haha. Knee jerks can be funny to watch. Hopefully they will be inundated with letters, emails and texts cluing them in on the underground meaning of "Charger", even if people have to make something up

Its all nonsense, in high school we were the "Blue Demons" and the churchs' every few years would try to get the public high school to change it. Cougars/Demons whatever its just a name. I'd like to see a day when a team could be called the jit bags and no one would get offended.

Devil's Lake ND used to call their high school sports teams the Satans. Now, that was a name that deserved some controversy. But "cougars?" sheesh. I pity the poor old cougar on the school board that got upset about the name.
