On all these threads, I go back to the two years I went to public school in the USA and the two years I want to Catholic school (long story).
We keep kosher, always have.
Accordingly, my mom packed me a lunch every day. During Passover, it was down right Paleo.
It never once crossed our minds to demand a kosher lunch from the school.
I just post this to compare-and-contrast with the muslims who demand that not only must they get free Halal lunches, but everyone must have Halal lunches.
It’s a simple, but fundamental, difference between Islam and Judaism that all can understand.
Bingo. Same here, in CA public schools. My elementary school was 65-70% Jewish and yet any of us who kept kosher couldn’t eat in their cafeteria much. So we brought our lunches, big whoop. Huge difference between us taking care of our own needs vs Muslims taking over. I believe it started with prisons. Hm.
There’s a yet contemporary lesson in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”, where a muslim could come to woo Portia. Yet were that wooer a Jew, he would have been meat for the dogs.
