Peach McIntyre, a well-known figure on TikTok, recently found herself in the spotlight for returning food from her children’s school.
She accused her children’s school of racially profiling them after her kids received bags of food that included a note reading “Feeding Empty Little Tummies.”
In a viral video that captured widespread attention, Peach was seen returning to the school while holding one of those grocery bags. Clearly upset, she expressed her feelings candidly. “I had to call my husband to calm me down because they really got me messed up,” she shared with her followers. “To single out my children? Never in our lives. I don’t play about my kids.”
Peach recounted that after dropping her kids off for tutoring, they came back with food bags that she felt they didn’t need at all. Rather than seeing it as a gesture of kindness, she felt it was demeaning. “I don’t know which one of y’all had the bright idea to do this, but don’t ever play with my children again,” she asserted. “I don’t care if they kick my kids out of this school. Don’t ever.”
Her video resonated with many, igniting discussions about how schools sometimes make unfair assumptions based on race, particularly towards Black children and their families. While some might interpret the food offering as a benevolent act, many viewers understood Peach’s frustration, especially in light of the troubling history of stereotyping and targeting Black students.
