It’s the mother of all food fights – church ladies versus lunch ladies.
The controversy involves a church that received
permission from the Seattle School District to serve free pizza to
students at three area high schools.
A union representing public school cafeteria workers in Seattle,
Washington erupted with rage last week – warning that the weekly pizza
giveaway could result in cafeteria layoffs. They even accused Bethany
Community Church of proselytizing with pepperoni.
“We are not telling them a Bible story before they get pizza,” Youth Pastor Nick Steinloski told television station KOMO.
He also said it is about showing the kids the church cares about them.
No sermon. Just two, hot slices of cheesy goodness –
and according to the kids it’s a heckuva lot better than what they would
get in the school cafeteria.
