Filipino Family Wins Montreal Court Case Over Son's Use Of Utensils

Filipino Family Wins Montreal Court Case Over Son's Use Of Utensils

A Filipino migrant family in Canada won a Montreal court case over the son’s use of utensils. Luc Gagadoc, who is a student of the Margeurite Bourgeoys School Board in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, was reprimanded by the lunch hall monitor in 2006 for eating his lunch using a spoon and fork.

The monitor described the way Gagadoc used his utensils – which is the traditional way Filipinos eat – as “eating like a pig.” The school principal advised Gagadoc’s mother, Maria Theresa Gallardo, to teach him how to eat like a Canadian, by using a fork and knife instead.

Note: You see folks, when political correctness crosses that line it becomes Chronic Anal-Retentivity Disorder. This case is a classic example. (What are the chances of getting my new diagnosis into the DSM-V?).
