I think that if your kid has peanut allergies that bad, you don't go telling the school to ban peanuts -- you homeschool your kid or get him a private tutor. Telling an entire school system / community to ban any contact with peanuts is overkill.

That would be my thought. Why should my problem become everyone else's?

Of course. You don't turn an entire society on its head to provide marginal, illusory benefits to microscopic special-interest groups. No matter how much the leftists try.

Or the kids dies, and you sue the school at which case, someone goes "oh well, to bad".

A mere inconvenience about one food item, isn't going to ruin a kids life, versus ending another kids life.

We're not banning pens or pencils, or food in whole, just one item that happens to cause harm to to many kids with these allergies.
