"As a parent, I am relieved"

Yeah, I've heard these penut alergies are the absolute worst of the lot. None of the recent parents I know even let their kids touch penuts - not for the first few years of their life. I'm incredibly prone to blasting it all as a bunch of PC, wimpy liberal crap that we now have to deal with, but the more rational part of my brain knows that as soon as some kid is exposed as having a penut alergy, some jackass kid is going to come up and force him to eat a penut. Indeed, I read an article a few years ago about a kid who touched a penut to a kid in the school lunch line, and the kid had to be rushed to the hospital. It sucks, but for once the liberal, PC "ban everything" answer makese sense, in this one instance at least.

Thanks for your understanding.
