All public schools in Jackson Mississippi served fish on Fridays
Just to be safe
Imagine public schools giving a rats ass today
And our parochial schools were incorporated largely into public system
School books and sports and holidays etc

Now all black ghetto.....yet another lost cause
Yes, I remember fish sandwiches or patties and cheese pizza on Fridays. I won’t list my schools. SoJack is not the same place.
When I was growing up, we would drive through the areas around Provine HS, and you could tell that those areas had once housed prosperous people. But they weren’t anymore. The same is true of my old neighborhood.
They serve meatless foods here on Fridays during Lent. But this is a heavily Catholic area. I can think of very few Catholic classmates in Jackson. My Catholic friends went to . . . Prep! Lol
In my neighborhood, I can remember at least two Jewish households. They kept to themselves. I do not know their names. We did not trick or treat at those two houses. I don’t remember them having children though they may have been older couples with grown children. Our neighborhood had one of those neighborhood covenants regarding the selling of your house. It was ignored by the time I was 22. Then neighbors sold their houses as quickly as possible to anyone who would buy.
