The middle school students in Nyack were provided a lunch of chicken and waffles, and watermelon for dessert.
A middle school in New York found itself in hot water last week after serving an"inexcusably insensitive" menu at the start of Black History Month.
Administrators in Nyack say middle school students were served chicken and waffles, with watermelon as a dessert, last Wednesday, the first day of Black History Month. The school's principal issued an apology to parents, explaining its food vendor provided a deviation from the listed lunch published on the monthly menu.
"The offering of chicken & waffles as an entree with watermelon as a dessert on the first day of Black History Month was inexcusably insensitive and reflected a lack of understanding of our district's vision to address racial bias," Principal David Johnson said.Menu screenshot of Nyack's lunch for Feb. 1.
"Yesterday's lunch menu should have consisted of Philly cheesesteak, broccoli, and fresh fruit. I am disappointed that Aramark would serve items that differed from the published monthly menu. Especially items that reinforce negative stereotypes concerning the African-American Community."
