NEW ORLEANS - A high school in New Orleans turned down a free Chick-fil-A lunch for its teaching staff due to the fast-food giant’s stance on same sex marriage.
The company has donated millions of dollars to organizations that oppose same-sex marriage and a company official criticized it in 2012, prompting boycotts and expansion denials in some regions of the country.
The principal at Lusher High School, Dr. Steven Corbett, said in a statement that the chicken chain’s values don’t mesh with the school’s motto of “Be Kind,” according to WWL-TV.
“Out of respect to our LGBTQ staff, we have chosen to not serve Chick-Fil-A at an employee lunch. The No. 1 rule at Lusher is to be kind and we live this motto every day,” Corbett said. “Chick-Fil-A has been politically outspoken about its views, and we feel it is not part of Lusher’s culture of kindness and community.”
The free lunch was part of an effort by the College Football Playoff Association to thank Orleans Parish schools for hosting the Sugar Bowl and College Football Championship, WWL reported.
The association is still providing a free lunch to Lusher teachers, but from a different restaurant.

In what world is discrimination based on political position ok?
PC Police strikes again.
Damn, the stupidity... Oh, well, I hope they enjoy their soy and arugala (and reminding me where I need to go for lunch today).
The Left desperately need boogeymen to fear & fight, and are imputing the desired evils on the Right regardless.
So if they were to offer an ice cream social ‘featuring’ Ben and Jerry’s - would they refuse it given their support of far left causes?
So the idiot failed his ‘be kind’ motto.
The takeaway here is that Chick-Fil-A is much more tolerant than this hateful high school principal.
LUSHER High School. LMAO
Wait till you get a little older and marry....and your 5 year old daughter is molested in a bathroom by the maintenance man who is wearing a dress.
“School turns down free Chick-fil-A lunch ‘out of respect for LGBTQ staff’”
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Eating is a political statement. So is everything else today, in a country where there is a mass psychosis called Trump Hatred-itis.
“The association is still providing a free lunch to Lusher teachers, but from a different restaurant.”
The teachers still got their free lunch.
...and their many unkind statements about normal Americans?
Why not BBQ, is that not fitting with their BS confused genital parts acronym?
I’ll bet the Chik-Fil-A has never refused to serve a LeGBuTt ever.
I don’t think the claims about chick-fil-la are accurate, for one, since when are they “politically outspoken”?
I do not understand the ongoing liberal boycott and resentment about Chick Fil A.
This article perpetuates the lie that Chick Fil A opposes homosexual marriage. This is a false assertion. The company does not have a position on marriage, and in fact, the company does not discriminate against “LGBT” peoples in any way
Also, where is the magnanimous feelings of liberals? On the issue of homosexual marriage, the liberals won. They won that battle in our culture wars.
Since the liberals won, and since the liberals tell us that love trumps hate and all that, why aren’t they magnanimous towards any who opposed homosexual marriage? Why is there this apparent need to punish Chick Fil A, as a perceived opponent in the battle over homosexual marriage?
The battle over homosexual marriage is over. The liberals won, yet apparently want to continue to fight about that issue.
I think I would go out, hit the drive through and get me some Chick-Fil-A to bring back to the luncheon. F’em.
They should once again be forced to eat Moocheles droppings. Idiots.
