According to the well-coached children making the demand, the vegetarian option is not sufficient because “we don’t get the protein that we need.” Yet these kids looked hardly undernourished, and, frankly, if protein is your thing, then why not bring hard-boiled eggs to school or beef jerky?

Because it’s not about the food, it’s about Islamic supremacism.

The New York City school system is 10 percent Muslim (if that). If food choice is so important to them, why not bring their own food? One young Muslima featured in a news story about the demand claims that not having halal food and having to eat peanut butter and jelly makes her “feel different.” But the fact is, she is choosing to be different. And her community is forcing the general population to conform to their ideology.

One parent said (with a straight face, no less): “As a parent, it is your duty to ensure your child does not go without food the whole day, and if that makes him weak and inattentive maybe he will lose interest in going to school.” You can’t make this stuff up. Now poor parenting is the lunch lady’s fault. Forgive me if I don’t buy the poor malnourished child propaganda. Growing up, there was never a hot lunch option in my public school, and we all did rather well. It’s just another way of imposing Islam on the secular marketplace.
