From ‘The College Fix”
Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist?
That’s right.
Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune:
“Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said.
“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”
When will it occur to Principal Gutierrez that based on this analysis the school will need to remove all the indoor plumbing, lighting, rule of law, and property rights, even ‘lunch’ itself, lest they appear insensitive to the Somali or Hispanic students in the school, whose cultures might not have any of these things.
What a clueless moron.
