   It's time to start killing liberals.  This shit has gone too far.   
      
   HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP, NJ — A high school in New Jersey is   
   apologizing for a school lunch menu that served fried chicken in   
   celebration of Black History Month.   
      
   Hopewell Valley Central High School’s Black History Month menu   
   also included sweet potato casserole, sauteed spinach, macaroni   
   and cheese and cornbread.   
      
   Superintendent Thomas A. Smith apologized to parents in the   
   district, recognizing that the menu choice “reinforces racial   
   stereotypes and is not consistent with our district mission and   
   efforts to improve cultural competency among our students and   
   staff," according to nj.com.   
      
   It wasn’t clear where the initial complaint about the menu   
   originated.   
      
   The school district’s food vendor, Pomptonian, has apologized to   
   the district for the menu.   
      
   “The director at this location never intended to do anything   
   that would offend anyone and deeply regrets the decision and   
   understands that it could have been taken out of context,” the   
   director said, according to NJ 101.5.   
      
   Forty-eight of the school’s 1,249 students are African American,   
   and nearly 82 percent of the student population is white,   
   according to the reports.   
      
   “Soul food” traditionally refers to food traditionally prepared   
   and eaten by African Americans in the south, and was first   
   prepared during the slavery era.   
      
   James Beard Award-winning novelist Adrian Miller once made a   
   clear distinction between “Soul Food” and “Southern Food” by   
   saying soul food is more flavorful and rich. Many dishes were   
   becoming more vegan-based, he told nola.com during a 2014   
   interview.
