There is a new sign on the library door stating the latex-free policy.
"That sign means so much more than not allowing balloons," Callahan said. "It means someone could die if latex was brought in."
"I can understand how some people may feel, but you have to consider how important it is to allow my son and kids like him to come to the library," Callahan said.
And if someone is allergic to pollen, then all of the plants and flowers on public grounds must immediately be ripped out...
And if there's even a possibility that one child could be struck by a motor vehicle, then all vehicles must be banned from public property.
And if someone is offended by [fill in the blank], then...
This country is going has gone right down the toilet because of the liberal/PC do-gooders. It's for the children, yah know!

Oh, thank God, so I'll still be able to get it on at the library.

That kid has no chance. All it'll take is one event requiring emergency medical service... and he's a goner.
Where does someone get the idea that the entire world must be bent to fit their extremely rare condition? Isn't this just a tad unrealistic?
I feel the same about people with peanut allergies and the like. It would be far better for that kid and that family if they could figure out some way to survive in the world. Eventually... they'll be in a place where they can't control others. Better figure out how to deal with it.

"My son has a life-threatening latex allergy," he said. "This is a part of our lives."...and now that child's allergy and the child that just learned that he can get his way by threatening a lawsuit has become a part of everyone else's lives, thanks.

"My son has a life-threatening latex allergy," he said. "This is a part of our lives."
Apparently it's part of everybodys life now. Also I'm confused as to why latex has to be removed. Can't the kid be in the same room as latex or hasn't he learned not to touch it?

"This is a part of our lives."Your lives, not mine. Latex has probably saved ten thousand lives for every one it has threatened. If this guys kid is too sensitive so latex, keep him home.

Patrick Callahan, whose 9-year-old son Andrew has severe latex allergy... That boy's first sexual experience will definitely be something he'll remember for the rest of his life.

"And if someone is allergic to pollen, then all of the plants and flowers on public grounds must immediately be ripped out...What an idiotic thing to say. How do you differentiate between an allergen and a toxin? At what point do you draw the line. Would you approve of me smoking marijuana in the library if your kids were present, how about dumping solvents in the community pool?
