Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 111: Lunch Box Identities

What is “Canadian food” and how does its interpretation affect our identity and sense of belonging—especially in primary and secondary schools?

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2350341/

This episode unpacks the packed lunch, in particular those that the kids of first-generation immigrants bring to school. Two articles from Canadian Food Studies are covered, both co-written by Yukari Seko, “Unboxing the bento box” (Vol. 8, No. 3) and “Feeding children while Asian” (Vol. 12, No. 2). And in response, PhD student Shay Quinn offers up several perspectives on meaning-making, involving research participants in research, and arts-informed methodologies.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 106: School Food Programs

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2210715/

With the creation of Canada’s National School Food Program, myriad questions, challenges, and opportunities arise. Student success, cultural identity, food provisioning, and economics are all at play. As Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode, ongoing research and reflection will be needed.

First, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i3.260) from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.

L'un des résultats les plus importants et la berezina des républicains dans les "School boards", ces entités qui contrôlent les livres autorisés ou pas dans les établissements scolaires, les tenues autorisées, l'obligation d'afficher les 10 commandements dans toutes les classes...

Les Démocrates ont pris le contrôle de 80% de ces #schoolBoards.
Les mêmes qui ont retiré des étagères tous les ouvrages mentionnant lgbtq et transgenres, éducation de la fierté black ou des autochtones.

MagaWorld est IIII-PPON !

@lechner @dukepaaron The #truth is what #science seeks. In the context of my toot, the *current* ‘leadership’ of the #UnitedStates military, as well as numerous #SchoolBoards and #Library Boards with a majority belonging to the #MAGA cult, are afraid that children will learn the truth about human gender and sexuality that has been learned through #genetics , #physiology and #endocrinology. They are afraid of many other truthful things as well. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiolgenomics.00065.2025

Oh great: David Parker, Take Back Alberta, et al want to make your schools the front line battle ground for the culture wars, even more than they already are. Alberta, make sure you find out who the smart, capable, and progressive candidates are in your district, we can’t let these people get in… can you imagine TBA types on the school board and the #UCP in the Leg at the same time? They will tear apart everything you value about your children and your grandchildren’s schooling: the only reason things aren’t already much worse is because the big school boards have been doing a hero’s job of pushing back against the GovofAB.

"A fight over a school board member's Instagram 'likes' escalates into Nazi name-calling

A group of parents in Redlands, California, is pushing for Candy Olson to resign her role on the school board over racist and antisemitic memes she 'liked' on Instagram. Olson says she never saw the problematic images

(. . .)

Candy Olson — part of the board's conservative-voting majority — has hit 'like' on Instagram carousels of images that include racist and antisemitic memes, according to screenshots collected by a group of parents. More than 1,500 people have written to the board as part of a campaign by a local activist group, Together for Redlands, calling for Olson’s resignation."

"A Georgia mother was forcibly removed from a school board meeting Tuesday night after saying just one word out of turn.

Lena Kotler, a mother of three, was manhandled by four police officers at a recent City Schools of Decatur Board of Education meeting for speaking out against proposed changes to the district's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Kotler shouted 'Cowards!' at the board members, after which a recording of the meeting shows Board Chair Carmen Sulton asking her to leave.

'I said one word, I have already stated I have no intention of speaking again until public comment,' Kotler said. 'I'm going to sit here, I have offered that if it makes the board feel comfortable you as a security employee are welcome to sit next to me. If I speak again outside of public comment, I will leave. I have the right to be here, I have not used harsh language or threats.'

The officers then approached Kotler, who remained seated, and forcefully lifted her out of her seat before dragging her out of the room."

"In 2022, conservative groups celebrated a 'great victory' over 'wokeified' curriculum when the Texas State Board of Education squashed proposed social studies requirements for schools that included teaching kindergartners how Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez 'advocated for positive change.'

Another win came a year later as the state board rejected several textbooks that some Republicans argued could promote a 'radical environmental agenda' because they linked climate change to human behavior or presented what conservatives perceived to be a negative portrayal of fossil fuels.

By the time the state board approved science and career-focused textbooks for use in Texas classrooms at the end of 2023, it appeared to be comfortably in sync with conservatives who had won control of local school boards across the state in recent years.

But the Republican-led state education board had not gone far enough for the conservative majority on the school board for Texas’ third-largest school district.

At the tail end of a school board meeting in May of last year, Natalie Blasingame, a board member in suburban Houston’s Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, proposed stripping more than a dozen chapters from five textbooks that had been approved by the state board and were recommended by a district committee of teachers and staffers.

The chapters, Blasingame said, were inappropriate for students because they discussed 'vaccines and polio,' touched on 'topics of depopulation,' had 'an agenda out of the United Nations' and included 'a perspective that humans are bad.'

In a less-publicized move, Blasingame, a former bilingual educator, proposed omitting several chapters from a textbook for aspiring educators titled 'Teaching.' One of those chapters focuses on how to understand and educate diverse learners and states that it 'is up to schools and teachers to help every student feel comfortable, accepted and valued,' and that 'when schools view diversity as a positive force, it can enhance learning and prepare students to work effectively in a diverse society.'"

6.8: Fighting the Far Right's Attack on Public Education with Dr Sam Myovitch

Across the USA, the far right candidates have been getting themselves elected to local and county school boards. Their goals include financially choking public schools by diverting government funds toward charter schools, often religious in orientation. Tune in to hear what Dr Sam Myovich, retired history teacher turned school board candidate campaign field coordinator, has to say about what’s at stake, the far right’s deployment of fascist tactics in their fight to destroy public education, and what we ordinary citizens can do to fight back against them, save our schools, and protect our very democracy itself.

Here's how we #saveAmerica for our kids:

Stop funding private #schools with public money.
End the #propertyTax funding model.
Make #civics and critical thinking classes mandatory at every level.
Ensure our kids have enough to eat via school lunch and breakfast programs, and make the resources available to intervene when they need help.
And stop giving #schoolBoards the power to deny our children the #education they need in order to build a thriving #democracy

“To force school board candidates to pick a partisan side in what is already such a hostile and complicated political climate is the worst thing we could do for our students, teachers and educational stakeholders.”
