Lincoln High School has officially taken cherry pie off its cafeteria menu after several complaints from parents that the dish was ‘too sexually suggestive’.

The movement to have the dessert banned was spearheaded by local parent, Julie Edmundson, who got many other parents involved in her crusade.

‘I’m over the moon delighted to have finally got the school board to wise up on what is and isn’t appropriate for children,’ said Julie, ‘You can’t have children coming home from school talking about hot and moist the cherry pie they ate was. People will get the wrong idea. This is a Christian country and we have certain morals and standards to uphold.’

While the children themselves don’t seem all too bothered either way, lunch lady Nora Berry found the whole incident to be ‘ridiculous’.

‘I swear some people are just looking to be offended these days. They have nothing better to do. If you see filth in everything then you are the one with the filthy mind. The real victims in this are the kids. They loved my cherry pie, it was a favourite every Wednesday. Many would come back for seconds. Now it’s a treat that’s been taken away from them, it’s ridiculous. They’re just going to go elsewhere now to get their pie fix – and who knows what quality that will be.’

Lincoln High School’s Headmaster was unavailable for comment.
