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 giants 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 chains values dont mesh with the schools 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 Lushers 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.

They’re ‘teaching’ your kids. Think about it.
“The company has donated millions of dollars to organizations that oppose same-sex marriage.”
That is correct. However, Chick Fila has openly gays that work for them with absolutely no discrimination. They hire based on what a good employee can do for them regardless of race or sexual preference. They keep their political beliefs and support totally separate of how they run their company. This should be admired.
Contrast this to Hollywood. If you are conservative you are “Black Listed” and will not work in Hollywood unless you are a Superstar.
The company has donated millions of dollars to organizations that oppose same-sex marriage.
Correction to my post. The donations were personal funds from the owner of Chick Fila and not company funds.
Perverse stupidity and unChristian behavior. The offer was too good for them.
Homofascists hate Christians and breeders.
They are intolerant, unkind, and rude AF.
This school lies about their motto driving this.
The Left won because Jerry Brown refused to defend Prop 8 at the Supreme Court and those who initiated the proposition were told they had no standing.
The CEO and founder of Mozilla was fired because he donated to the proposition that passed by popular vote in California. ANYONEs job is on the line if they voted for Prop 8.
