No evidence Canadian schools banning pork from lunches as rumours spread
A TikTok video from October asked viewers to “imagine” receiving an email from a teacher asking parents’ not to pack pork in their children’s school lunches lest it offend religious students.
Some who shared the video claimed Ontario and other Canadian school boards banned pork products in deference to Muslim students.
However, there is no evidence confirming the existence of such an email or school pork bans.
“Imagine receiving an email from your kids’ school teacher asking you not to pack pork in their lunches anymore because it has become offensive to some of the children who are in the class,” says the creator of a TikTok video posted in early October that has since received more than 600,000 plays.
“Some parents are writing emails to the teachers saying that there are Canadian kids showing up with bacon and ham in their sandwiches, and that’s offensive to their religion. Just imagine that for a second,” he says.
In a Facebook post , one user claimed it was schools in Ontario that told parents they couldn’t pack pork in their children’s lunches “because it offends Muslims.”
Muslims cannot consume pork products under Islamic dietary rules.
