Yeah it's just random garbage where people took some principals words and spun it to mean he was claiming pb and j sandwiches are racist. It's a really trivial thing that I doubt most people even remember aside from far righters

It caused a huge argument on another website I visit about whether or not it should be banned because of allergies and not racism.

Honey I'm 40 and it wasn't till my kids went into grade school I heard this ridiculousness. But whatever. Either that or Indian style is unnecessary as "sit with your legs crossed" is self explanatory.

I guess my school must have been one of the last holdouts because I remember hearing it called "Indian-style" in kindergarten and first grade. No so much afterwards tho. I think we just said "sit with your legs crossed" afterward. Never heard of criss-cross applesauce.

Cursive is useless anyway. It won't be missed.

Knowing how to read a clock is a basic skill that everyone who doesn't have brain damage should know

Even if they don't, kids will learn where 3-o'clock (and lunchtime) is pretty quickly, on their own.
