Elite private school forced to apologize to students after serving special Black History Month menu of fried chicken and collard greens
An elite private school in
Indianapolis has apologized for serving fried chicken and collard greens
to students as part of a ‘misguided’ attempt to celebrate Black History

Several black

served the meal last Wednesday, supposedly in the name of raising

Administrators said they realized the
problem before lunch was served and removed references to Black History
Month from the menu, reports the Indianapolis Star....
