Brussels: No pork served in half of Dutch speaking schools
Update: If I understand correctly, about two thirds of the schools don't serve pork. Half don't serve pork, and the rest serve only halal food.
Vlaams Belang checked how many school kitchens have adapted to 'the multicultural context' in the Dutch-language educational system in Brussels. Slightly more than half of the 61 schools they've surveyed do not serve pork, so as not to disgust the Muslim community. 12% of the schools serve halal exclusively.
"Appaling," says Brussels fraction chairman Dominiek Lootens, who calls halal slaughter 'barbaric". Vlaams Belang says it's unprecedented that non-Muslim children are forced to eat halal meat, often without their or their parents' knowledge. Lootens says this is yielding to the pressure of radical Muslims who demand that people blindly follow Sharia.
