Irvine Apologizes for Martin Luther King Day Menu

The University of California at Irvine is apologizing that one of its dining halls served chicken and waffles on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, advertising it as an "MLK Holiday Special," the Los Angeles Times reported. The menu was planned at the last minute and was not intended to offend, but was not in the "best taste," a spokeswoman said. A member of the Black Student Union lodged a complaint about the menu.
