I think someone needs to be FIRED!!

[polmaven]

When elementary school children in Methuen, MA brought home their lunch menus for next week, parents nearly went ballistic when they saw that, on March 9th, the planned lunch is....wait for it.... KKK Chicken Tenders!!! Yes - you saw that right!

Apparently it is supposed to stand for Krispy Krunchy Khicken....The menus have been changed after the schools were overwhelmed by phone calls, but damage done, as far as I am concerned!

Someone needs to be fired!

1. Occam's Razor says the most likely cause was STUPID not deliberate.

If it was stupid, then it's not really a firing offense-maybe some training is necessary. If it was deliberate-then fire them.

2. Agreed. Somebody probably thought they were riffing on KFC

Especially given that this is Methuen, MA -- not exactly the heart of the Confederacy.

3. Have you ever been to Methuen MA?

Well, have you?

[Atman]

5. Yes.

I was born in Mass and lived there for years. I live in CT now, but we have friends in that area. My point is, Mass is still pretty liberal, it's not Mississippi. Even in Methuen I doubt something like this would have been done intentionally.

4. I have my doubts about that.

12. "Never ascribe to malice what can best be explained by incompetence"

I believe Napolean said it.

16. Neat! nt

15. Someone who isn't aware of what KKK stands for, even in a liberal state, would be

very stupid, indeed.

6. Everyone's always revving up some engine to get somebody fired

Who are these people? I have never in my life even imagined trying to get a person fired.

Strikes me as a rather obnoxious bourgeois preoccupation.

7. Khicken? Really? What the fuck is khicken? Someone REALLY wanted to incorporate KKK into that menu!

[nobodyspecial]

13. Exactly. I would say the first two were innocent enough

but the third doesn't even make sense for the explanation. Also, why would you repeat chicken? khicken chicken tenders?

9. Sounds like a job for Mittens.

[JNelson6563]

10. Off with their heads!1! Verdict first, trial afterward!

Who are you, the Red Queen? Geez. Sounds to me more like stupid than hateful. For all you know some struggling single mom put that together without nasty intention. Whatever the circumstances I should hope there would be some sort of inquiry before thoughtless knee-jerk reaction.

11. Silly mistake, hardly worth firing somebody over

[Brickbat]

14. Sounds like a dumb mistake that was handled stupidly.

17. There were several threads on H&M about people like you.

I wouldn't want to offend you by pointing out the obvious.
