Is this what is going to pass as a discussion?
a) It is a "story" from 2012
b) The only thing that Gutierrez actually said about the PB&J is that "Americans eat it."
c) All else is a 100% fabrication intended to engender mistrust and hate.

If this isn't a topic of interest to you, you're not required to respond to it. If you'd prefer not to be included in a discussion, then why bother discussing? Personally, if I don't like someone's post I don't attack it, I just ignore it. In response to your points though:
a) I guess the timing of the story doesn't really matter to me. Whether it was in 2012 or 1912, it's still a ridiculous claim.
b) Correct, Americans eat it, but I didn't see where she said that. The only quote in the article was about changing teaching practices. More accurately, the article states that she expresses that other countries don't eat bread.
c) What exactly is fabricated, and how do you know it's fabricated?

Furthermore, in reading through some of the response posts to the article itself I came across an interesting point of view. One responder made a comparison to money. Is using U.S. currency racist because other countries don't use it?

I was raised with peanut butter on my pancakes - which seems to be repugnant to some peoples, pancakes are bread, when I put peanut butter on my pancakes, and people in the unit were saying "get a rope' I would use the race card, saying "it's a Norwegian thing" whereupon they had to drop it, cause I made it a race thing

Flat out ridiculous. Culturally insensitive to eat bread... The PC police are insane, period.
