Is peanut butter and jelly racist? - 11/13/14 08:58 PM
in a day and age where confidence in public education seems to be at an all time low, this is sure to change that stigma. who do you think principal gutierrez voted for?
The sandwich was reportedly mentioned in a lesson plan last year. Verenice Gutierrez from the Harvey Scott K-8 School used it as an example of a subtle form of racism in language, according to the report. “What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez said, according to the Tribune. “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.”
