Would we be as concerned about the school catering to orthodox Jewish kids by serving Kosher foods? ...of course not...
Now if the school demanded everybody eat halal food, that would be a problem...
I know can be perceived as Muslim incrementalism, but it seems these mothers were simply concerned their children were not eating a lunch...
As far as I can tell, they asked for an accommodation, not demanded it...
Nooooooooo. Perish the thought. That's just crazy conspiracy talk. Everyone knows they're coming here to become good little red, white and blue Americans.

What was stopping them from making their kids a bag lunch?
Do you understand how muslims work when they invade other nations? Have you paid attention to Europe? Doesn’t matter - soon we will have sharia law and all schools will provide halal meals. Screw Christians - they are so yesterday’s America.

That comes next month. Give an inch . . .

If the family is THAT pious, then let those concerned moms pinch pennies and send their kids to school with a halal lunch of their own making.
The Buddhists, Hindus, et al (let alone the Jews) also have religious dietary strictures, yet we have seen no push by their adherents - they aren't trying to take over.
“but it seems these mothers were simply concerned their children were not eating a lunch...
BS
IF these mothers were so concerned why didn’t they make a lunch and send it with their kids?
The free lunch is NOT mandatory.
