School officials in a Massachusetts town are apologizing for sending home a lunch menu that listed KKK Chicken Tenders as an option.
About 6,500 students in four Methuen schools went home with new menus Tuesday, a day after the original one mistakenly listed chicken seemingly in the style of the Ku Klux Klan.
The menus were supposed to read “KK Chicken Tenders,” short for “Krispy, Krunchy Chicken Tenders,” Methuen Schools Superintendent Judith Scannell told the Eagle Tribune. Scannell said it was an unfortunate typo by an “exemplary employee,” and apologized if anyone was offended.
“The School Committee was not aware of any of this,” Scannell told the Tribune. “But now, this is totally out of control.”
