School turns down free Chick-fil-A lunch ‘out of respect for LGBTQ staff'

NEW ORLEANS - A high school in New Orleans turned down a free Chick-fil-A lunch for its teaching staff due to the fast-food giant’s stance on same sex marriage.

The company has donated millions of dollars to organizations that oppose same-sex marriage and a company official criticized it in 2012, prompting boycotts and expansion denials in some regions of the country.

The principal at Lusher High School, Dr. Steven Corbett, said in a statement that the chicken chain’s values don’t mesh with the school’s motto of “Be Kind,” according to WWL-TV.

“Out of respect to our LGBTQ staff, we have chosen to not serve Chick-Fil-A at an employee lunch. The No. 1 rule at Lusher is to be kind and we live this motto every day,” Corbett said. “Chick-Fil-A has been politically outspoken about its views, and we feel it is not part of Lusher’s culture of kindness and community.”

The free lunch was part of an effort by the College Football Playoff Association to thank Orleans Parish schools for hosting the Sugar Bowl and College Football Championship, WWL reported.

The association is still providing a free lunch to Lusher teachers, but from a different restaurant.

Don’t muddy the waters with facts.
That’s just hateful.

Besides, demanding facts in an intellectual argument is non-inclusive to the fantasy peddlers and their ignorant minions.

The company has no position on marriage. The owner, an old man, did and he stated his opposition to gay marriage. The gays decided to destroy his company because that’s what they do. And they never, ever give up. Fortunately in this one instance the rest of America told them to stuff it.

Liberals have long ceased to advance an ideology of the greatest good for the greatest number.

That’s just a Trojan horse now.

It’s about seizing total state power and ruling with an iron fist. Just like Islam.

Christians love and respect everyone.. They do not celebrate or endorse behaviors that go against their religious beliefs. How about being kind to Christians and respect the fact marriage is religious and between one man and one woman.

What tolerance they show to those with differing beliefs.

Homosexual fascists. Nice, huh? Remember when they claimed “We just want to be left alone.”

The problem in the first place is that there are LGBQ staff. Anyone in that group are unfit to teach children.

My guess is that that school is still a staunch adherent to the Michelle Obama feed the trashcan and not the student lunch program. A CFA school lunch would only fill a few cans compared to what they get now.

Sure is nice of the principal to take it on himself to sign the whole school up to support the biggest boycott failure in history.

Thank you very much, school system.

“Chick-Fil-A has been politically outspoken about its views,”

LIAR.

It has NOT been “outspoken” - only you damn liberals never shut up about your views, your Hollywood pimps, your Liawathas, your Antifa thugs.

“Outspoken” means apparently, the pres once being interviewed for an obscure article and some homos hawking that to the world.

They do NOT constantly talk about their views. Heck, you can’t even find a Bible reference in their stores or on their items unlike In-N-Out (apparently) or Bess Eaton donuts used to have. Even with CFA’s much more recent national ad campaign, they don’t talk about “views” or homos OR marriage.

Get over yourselves, commie libs.
