Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is Racist, Says Portland School Official

PBJ racist

Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist?

That’s right.

Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune:


“Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

…The Tribune noted that the school started the new year with “intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives,” to help educators understand their own “white privilege,” in order to “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.”"Last Wednesday, the first day of the school year for staff, for example, the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation — to examine a news article and discuss the ‘white privilege’ it conveys,” the Tribune added.

Gutierrez completed a week-long seminar called “Coaching for Educational Equity,” a program the Tribune says focuses “on race and how it affects life.” She also serves on an administrative committee that focuses on systematic racism.

“Our focus school and our Superintendent’s mandate that we improve education for students of color, particularly Black and Brown boys, will provide us with many opportunities to use the protocols of Courageous Conversations in data teams, team meetings, staff meetings, and conversations amongst one another,” she said in a letter to staff.

Next time you’re in the bread aisle at the grocery store, you may want to think twice. Sensitive liberal educators are now recommending the “torta” or the “pita” as a more culturally inclusive alternative.

Now that you’ve been made aware of the evil of PB&J, there’s only one question left to answer: Is white bread more racist than whole wheat?

lets' see attack the family unit, the national borders, the language, the cultural identity, sexual identity and then the that mother fucking PBJ :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I eat tortillas every day, I'm white as they get. How dare that racist bitch claim that I can't eat a peanut butter and jelly tortilla just because I'm white!

I'm more offended by them not eating sandwiches and trying to push bullshit alternatives on everyone like it's not the same thing..

Fully out of control. This makes me wonder if we need to go back to the days there was REAL racism so these fucking morons can wake up and realize their stupidity.

Be banning bacon next.

don't get none of that shit with homeschooling :thumbsup

Portland is one of the most liberal cities in the nation. . . sometimes we have the batshit crazy aspects of that leak out. :)

The Onion News Network has some real competition these days

Wow these people are so stupid. Race problems are only going to get worse when we keep treating people differently. Yes, making cultural exceptions is treating people differently which sure its nicer but no different than segregated water fountains. When everyone is truly treated equally and it doesn't matter what race you are when eating a pb&j or a tortilla, and it doesn't cause news articles to be written about it, then we will be on the right track to ending all these racial problems.

I used to wonder why you mixed peanut butter and jelly - it seemed REALLY weird to me - until I discovered that what you call jelly isn't actually jelly!

Hahaha! :pimp:pimp

Try that shit and the streets will run red with their blood. :mad:

Brassmonkey gives all 4 thumbs up to Portland School Officials.

Just read that and now I've made the same discovery. Fucking jam!

She's even a Doctor in something

Is it because it is one of the whitest big cities in US? Or even the most whitest.
They did not probably see what happens when your city gets darker.

With the education system the way it is - half the kids in school would have difficulty spelling peanut butter and jelly.

emailed her...told her i was writing extra slowly so she would understand.

Just wow.

The money they spend on intensive training they could just buy pitas, tortillas, tortas, white bread, croissants, matzo crackers and some F'n rye bread too and make every ethnicity happy and just offer choices each meal and let the students choose there own racist damn sandwich vessels.
