School Celebrates Black History Month By Serving Fried Chicken and Watermelon?

I know, you're thinking to yourself, I know he just misunderstood this!  Nobody really did that.  But that's where you're wrong. 

A high school in northern California just celebrated Black History Month in such a misguided way, it would seem to outsiders that it was either intentional or one of the most ignorant mistakes in recent history.

Last week, the Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord, California decided to pay homage to Black History Month by serving a special lunch menu which featured featuring fried chicken, cornbread, and watermelon.

Students and parents were outraged, and the principal of the school ended up apologizing.

A professor at the University of San Francisco says the school apparently didn't realize that "Chicken, watermelon . . . these are stereotypes of black Southern culture."
