Dozens of University of Texas at Austin (UT) student tour guides are refusing to work amid demands that the school remove a plaque that bears the lyrics of the controversial song "The Eyes of Texas," The Texas Tribune reported Tuesday. The strike is also in protest against a recent ruling handed down by UT that the school's marching band must keep playing the alma mater. Objections have been mounting over the fight song, which critics say has a racist history. The plaque in question hangs in the university's Admissions Welcome Center, where it's visible to prospective Longhorns. A group consisting of dozens of students, estimated to be more than half of the campus tour guides, is petitioning the school to remove the plaque to create a more welcome environment for all potential students.
