"So, what if a student has a PB sandwich for breakfast before getting to school? Do you make all his playmates sign contracts stating their peanut-free status?
And how is this different than the myriad of life-threatening allergens that exist?
As for the insensitive/ignorant comment, I suggest you stop thinking that the world revolves around you, or your kids."
Your first question is ridiculous.
Question 2: This IS different, because peanuts can be easily avoided at little or no cost to EVERYONE at school.
Would you rather an allergic kid be put in a special school at the tax payers expense.....all so your kid can eat a peanut butter sandwich? As a parent, my world IS my kids. When I hear from insensitive people like you who think my kid should be treated like a leper because of an allergy that can be easily avoided, it makes my blood boil. I hope you never have to see someone you love almost die from an allergic reaction. Of course, if you did, maybe you wouldn't be such an insensitive, ignorant jerk. Don't ever post to me again. It's a waste of both of our time.
You stated that your sons could have a reaction by someone BREATHING on them after eating PB.
I asked a simple question - What if a child has a PB sandwich before school (at the bus stop perhaps)?
And I'll ask again, why don't we accomodate the photo-sensitive? Aren't their "special needs" as important as your sons'?
Because your sense of self-importance, in conjunction with your ad hominem attacks certainly makes it sound like it.
Proud insensitive, ignorant jerk bump.
(If it's so easily avoidable, why isn't your kid avoiding it instead of making the rest of the world bend to him?)
I've followed this conversation, and your intolerant replies. Since breaking the FR rules seems to be OK with you, let me be the first:
Everything you've posted on this thread indicates you are an insensitive, liberal jerk. No consideration of others at all, no tolerance for other opinions, and when challenged, you attack the challenger. Go back to DU, and stay there.
I am going to have to agree with the other guy on this one. You say that it doesn't cost other people anything but you are wrong. They are being forced to bow to your childrens alergies. Your children can go to a special room at lunch time so those that want to eat peanut butter can do so. Your children are the ones with the problem. As for watching a child suffer and almost die because of alergies mine has an alergy to bees and one sting can be a death sentance. We aer not avodcating the banning of bees from schools. We do insist that our child carry the antidote to this reaction however. I am wondering if they have a similar antidote for peanut oil reactions? and if they do do you have your child carry it or does the school have it on hand? If not why?
