Denver School District Serves Up Lunch Controversy

By Katrina Ingraham on Thursday, January 14, 2010.

The Denver Public School District caused some controversy this week over their special meal planned for tomorrow. One parent complained that the Southern-style meal, meant to honor Martin Luther King, was stereotypical and just plain offensive. The lunch was to include fried chicken, collared greens and a biscuit. School officials have since apologized, saying the meal was well intentioned but highly insensitive.
