A public school district in southeastern Minnesota has banned pork offerings on all of its menus to accommodate Muslim students.
Faribault Public Schools is no longer offering pork in its school cafeterias after a prior board meeting where concerns about the pork offerings were raised by the local chapter of the Minnesota Parent Union.
Members of the Minnesota Parent Union and two managers from Sodexo, a food and facilities company, spoke about the significant menu change in a video last month, which was shared by the district.
Activist Tiffini Flynn Forslund had met Sodexo district manager Lori McMahon at the school board meeting, where they exchanged contact information and agreed to work together on removing pork from the menu.
“We didn’t have to go through red tape. We didn’t have to shut down the meeting. We had complete cohesiveness and there is no pork in the menu for the entire Faribault school district. So this is wonderful when the Muslim culture does not eat pork,” Forslund said in the video.
“They changed recipes. They would love to hire Somali representation,” she continued. “And so this is just a wonderful, welcoming, culture-competent [sic] to move forward, to graduate kids. When everybody’s happy, eating well, working together, that is a win for the community.”
McMahon called their collaborative efforts “like the road to an amazing journey.”
“One of our goals in partnership with the district this year was to make sure that everyone had a seat at the table and felt comfortable at the table,” she said. “We thought we were doing a pretty good job with that, but pretty good isn’t good enough. We have to do the best job we can, and make sure and commit to the fact that there’s no pork on the menu.”
Faribault Public Schools, located in a city of over 24,000 people, serves around 3,500 students at all grade levels.
The city of Faribault is estimated to be between 75 and 80% white, based on previous census data and current demographic trends, but it has a notable Somali Muslim minority.
Somali refugees first came to the area nearly 30 years ago, and there are now approximately 4,000 Somali residents in Faribault.
Just remove Muslims from the lunchroom so that others can enjoy their pork.
“We didn’t have to go through red tape. We didn’t have to shut down the meeting. We had complete cohesiveness and there is no pork in the menu for the entire Faribault school district. So this is wonderful when the Muslim culture does not eat pork,” Forslund said in the video.

What about banning beef for the Hindus?
Welcome to Faribault Schools, children.
Remember, you are now on Somalian soil.
You are no longer protected by the US Constitution.
They sure as heck didn’t do anything like this to accommodate Jewish students or other non-pork-eating groups. Only muzzlimes. Who would just as soon slit their throats in their sleep.
cant get over whats happened to Minnesota....so far from the coastal rot, yet maybe craziest of all...weird.
But in all these years they never considered the same accomodation for their Jewish students?
That is why they accommodate Muzzies. Muzzies are bullies that will slit your throats. Jews and Hindus just abstain and Dindus are not going to be happy separated from their pork.
...except for those incapable of it.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I recall interviewing folks in the 80s and 1990s anyone and everyone from Minnesota was pretty darn smart. Hope this new batch is as good but have my doubts.
Somehow, the Jews managed not to be offended all this time ...
Daughter old bf family were pig farmers in Minnesota. It’s the top 3 states with pig farms along with Iowa and NC. And they can’t serve port?
I hear they’re bringing back Fish Fridays for observant Catholics.......

Assimilation is something refugees coming to America used to do. Now, they want to run the friggin’ country. Shame on you America for allowing them to get away with it.
How ‘bout this instead: Keep pork on the menu and let Muslims choose to eat something else. From soda sizes to wedding cakes, the liberals solution is always the same: make everyone conform to their ideals. Typical liberal response: don’t like a program on TV, a conservative changes the channel. The liberal wants to remove the program and restrict every one’s choice. Hubris to the max because liberals think they know what’s best for everyone.
Banning toilet paper, and mandating use of the left hand.
The Democrap vote fraud machine has been rigging state-wide "elections" in Minnesota for DECADES.

They are cowards. They know that US jews won’t fight back.
