Case: Culture, Religion, & Diet
I taught fifth graders in a public school in a military community. Each year, (to my delight)the principal assigned me as many Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students(CLDS)as he could. One year Shalma, an Islamic student, joined the class in the spring. She was the first known Islamic student to enroll in the school. Two pertinent facts: 1. Salma wore the traditional Hijab and abaya each day. 2. I had informed the cafeteria staff about Salma's dietary laws and needs(including that fact that she was not to even touch unclean foods nor eat anything that touched it). One day Shalma was served ham in the cafeteria. She explained that she could not eat it and was told, "Well, just take it off and eat the rest." Quantasha, an African American peer who was next in line told Ms. Deb, the cafeteria staff member, "She can't just take it off. It's unclean to her. You have to make her a new lunch. Quantasha was sent to the principal's office for disrespecting Ms. Deb, and the whole class was put on silent lunch. When I returned, I inquired of the paraprofessional in charge why the class was given silent lunch. She informed me that they were loud and rude to the lunchroom staff. What can be done to prevent this kind of situation from happening?

Hi Professor!
You taught me a few years ago at Georgia Southern! I know teach fourth grade and I also have a student with the same dietary laws/needs. I may be helpful to learn about different diets and dietary laws world wide. A grade-appropriate lesson would help to learn about their peers and other people they may some day meet. It is imperative to have administration sit down and meet with the cafeteria staff concerning students with such needs. My students' family just makes his lunch to avoid these problems. |

| Comments: IF I were in this situation I would exactly do this. Learning the laws I think is a great idea. |
