[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are dealing with that at our school now. Three new Muslim kids in the classroom and their parents are extremely conservative. The kids can't eat rice krispy treats, for example, because commercial marshmallows are made with gelatin, which is likely pork-derived. And many of the parents aren't sure how to deal with that. And the kids DON'T get invited for play dates. [/quote] Would it be a problem if it were Jewish kids that would not eat marshmallows because of the gelatin? They do make kosher marshmallows, which should be fine with Muslims. [/quote] It's not a problem, per se, it's that the parents had never run into it (the parents who provided the rice krispie treats were Jewish, FWIW). It's that the parents get nervous that they will offend or cause trouble, so they don't reach out as much as they may otherwise. [/quote]
