INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A private Indianapolis school is apologizing for a
lunch menu toasting Black History Month that featured fried chicken,
collard greens and a soul food bar.
Park Tudor School apologized in a statement Thursday for Wednesday's lunch
menu that sparked a social media outcry over reinforcing negative
stereotypes.
The Indianapolis Star reports the private school and college preparatory
academy served fried chicken, collard greens and other items along with a
soul food bar on Wednesday for a lunch menu titled "Celebrate Black
History Month."
The school says in its apology that the lunch menu "was an offensive and
misguided attempt by our foodservice provider to celebrate Black History
Month."
