NYACK - On the first day of Black History Month, the planned hot lunch menu for Nyack Middle School students was changed by the district's food vendor, without notice, and kids were offered chicken and waffles, with watermelon as the dessert.

The school's principal explained the "unfortunate situation" in a letter to parents Thursday, saying the change was made by Aramark, unbeknownst to the administration.

"We are extremely disappointed by this regrettable situation and apologize to the entire Nyack community for the cultural insensitivity displayed by our food service provider," Middle School Principal David Johnson said. "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.

That actually looks really good. I would be pissed as a white person if someone fricked up me getting that.

The article is dated February 3, 2023.

I do feel like we hear about something like this every few years.

I'd eat the chicken and watermelon but waffles with syrup is extremely unhealthy.

I had chicken and waffles last weekend with the wife and baby. I guess that restaurant was racist? Or was I racist for eating it?

Hard to frick up a homemade waffle and fried chicken with a syrup drizzle on top

Brain dead morons couldn't cater a bag lunch without finding fault in the bag.

We had pancakes with eggs and links for dinner the other night. Syrup is healthy.

If I go to a restaurant and it has chicken and waffles you can bet your bottom dollar that is what I'm ordering.

Sad. Once again, white progressives feel the need to slide in and apologize for nothing. In reality, this principle just told blacks that it is ghetto to eat the things that your culture has always enjoyed and I am here to save you from yourselves. Basically just said that chicken and waffles and watermelon should be forsaken by black people now that the left has deemed them unworthy of being consumed in public.

Where's the NEGATIVE stereotype? Chicken and waffles is a traditional meal in the black community. Why is it taboo to serve what they eat?

BTW - I LOVE fried chicken. So much, I'll probably die of a heart attack face down in a 3-piece meal with mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw.

Obviously tone deaf AF, but hot damn if that doesn't look better than any public school meal offering I ever ate. Blows square pizza out of the water.

These Liberals don't hang around "real" black people.

Every black person I know not only WOULDN'T be offended, they (and myself) would be complaining about the small portion size.
