(PRINCETON, N.J.) — An all-male a cappella group at an Ivy League university has pulled a Disney movie song from its act following a student newspaper column that suggested the lyrics helped promote "toxic masculinity."

The Princeton University Tigertones have performed "Kiss the Girl," a song from "The Little Mermaid," for years. During the performances, a female audience member would be brought onstage to decide whether or not a man from the crowd could kiss her.
