A new Hindu school in the UK is causing a ruckus with the announcement that vegetarian students will be given admissions priority over kids that eat meat. The policy is a way for school officials to ensure that all students are strict followers of their faith. However, some involved are upset since not all Hindus follow the Hare Krishna tradition and feel that those students shouldn’t be discriminated against during the admissions process.

Here in the US it is hard to imagine a school where only vegetarian fare was served - although some kids seem to be trying over at youth noise (a youth organizing site).

For those interested in Hare Krishna or just eating more veggies, New York City’s 26 Second Ave serves as a space for any and everyone to go and learn more about the Hare Krishna tradition through events and programs (that often feature free vegetarian feasts!)
