SAN FRANCISCO: Slack has apologized for Hummus Day activity that apparently offended some users.
In an Easter egg, work productivity platform allows users to change their notifications to a woman saying the word hummus, in reference to the Middle Eastern chickpea snack dip. And often on National Hummus Day, the company references the quirk on social media.
TIL: You can change your slack notification from the knock sound to a British woman saying Hummus.
As of Wednesday, plans appeared to be proceeding as usual for this year’s Hummus Day.
What can we say? We really like hummus. Slack (@SlackHQ) May 12, 2021
DOJ Orders Dearbornistan Public Schools to Fundamentally Transform

The Department of Justice under Eric Holder has ordered a Detroit-area school, Crestwood School District in Dearborn Heights, which has a growing Arab population, to translate every communication – spoken and written – into Arabic, increase ESL – including teaching in Arabic, and they have to hire more Arab educators.
It will allow meaningful participation by students with limited English proficiency, the DOJ claims.
It will also limit assimilation, a goal of this administration.
“This is a great victory for the Arab-American community and its children to become contributing citizens in our country,” said Shereef Akeel, a Troy attorney who filed a federal complaint in 2011 on behalf of Hiam Brinjikji, a counselor in the school district who complained about the district’s neglect of Arab immigrant students.
