Well what would you serve the student body for Black History Month? You have any ideas that kids will actually eat?

As least where I taught they've been trained over the last 20 or so years to eat what resembles fast food, primarily chicken nuggets, pizza, vegetarian tacos, etc.

Their regular menu. Black History Month is about teaching lessons. Serving "black" food isn't going to be very educational.

Nothing wrong with also celebrating a group's heritage. Schools and workplaces do it all the time. Corn beef and cabbage in St. Patty's Day. Tacos on Cinco De Mayo, etc..

Food is an integral part of culture. Doesn't mean it applies to everyone in the culture.

I guess it’s ok to celebrate with food when it’s not an easily offended group.

Could be wrong, but I'm going to guess that more people outside the group were offended than in the group.
