Food Fracas 'Furiates Filipinos
Montreal, Canada. This 7 year-old boy is being punished and is made to eat by himself for eating his school lunch with a spoon and fork, instead of using a knife and fork.
So now, some Filipinos are getting together and having protests.
Montreal school officials are being decried as racist and intolerant after allegedly punishing a Filipino-Canadian boy for eating his lunch with a fork and spoon rather than a knife and fork... Headlines splashed across a number of Filipino newspapers and media sources expressed outrage at the boy's punishment, which school officials claim was based on disruptive behaviour, not eating technique... His mother, Maria Theresa Gallardo, claims her son had been reprimanded on numerous prior occasions for his culinary habits, which she said are typical to their country.I don't know what to say. I think that it surely marks some cultural ignorance on the part of the school's prinicple. Sometimes a mind is like a parachute, it only functions when it's open. But is sure is pretty funny going to a protest with little signs and spoons and forks.
