The principal at Waupun High School has had the school's fight song rewritten because he feared its use of the word "fellow" could be construed as sexist.

Principal Jeff Finstad says most people didn't know the lyrics to the song, so students wanted to paint them on the gymnasium wall.

That's when he read the words, which included the line, "Fight fellows, fight, fight, fight."

He told students he wouldn't allow those words on the wall.

Finstad asked junior Bridget Nickel to rewrite the words. She came up with a version that removed gender-specific terms.

The school has dealt previously with an issue of political correctness. The school logo used to be a "W" for "Warriors" but it's been replaced by a character that looks like a knight.
