Your kid's food choice now RACIST? Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is Racist, Says Portland School Official

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is Racist, Says Portland School Official:
“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.”
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."
