Read the article, but if you want the spoiler alert here it is: The headline is a lie.
What are you talking about... I read the article which says because OTHER cultures might not eat bread, the guy thinks peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist because it doesn't include other cultures... I find it amusing considering peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are American and if they are in America, this is an American tradition... next up, turkey is racist because maybe they don't have turkeys in the north pole...

Reread it then because you didn't comprehend it. There is no mention of racism or being racist at all in what that person said. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Find me the quote from the article in which the public school official says what you claim: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist because it doesn't include other cultures.
It should be easy because it's right there in the article, right?
Liberals are actually against diversity. And that's another thread in and of itself. Shows that leftists are always looking for a stupid crisis to manufacture for political reasons. They always do and always will.
Guess I need to go make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Grape, anyone?
Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year.
“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portland’s Cully neighborhood.
..
“When white people do it, it is not a problem, but if it’s for kids of color, then it’s a problem?” says Gutierrez, 40, an El Paso, Texas, native whose parents were Mexican immigrants. “Break it down for me. That’s your white privilege, and your whiteness.”

Lame. Not only is the headline misleading (downright LIE, in fact), but I also don't believe the conservative lies about liberals hating diversity... the only examples you can provide are dishonest at best, usually saying more about how conservatives feel about minorities. I would expand on that, but it would require offering more honesty than you & the mods here can handle.

Yeah, I read it the first time it was posted here - like a year ago. Still doesn't say anything about PB&J sandwiches being racist, but I know some people here have trouble distinguishing between inclusiveness and racism (even though they're actually antonyms). "OMG, they want to make sure children of cultures OTHER than Aryan/WASP can feel included? That's racist!!"
