The screening should be for kids unfit for being in public

Why stop at kids with allergies...

When I was growing up (in the 80s) the kids with severe allergies ate in a different lunch area altogether.
Being a parent, why risk it? Just have your kid eat somewhere other than the main cafeteria and you’re good to go.
To: fanfan
Yeah its nuts.. and if its starting in Canada, you can bet its coming here soon.
We worry about shootings, and guns in schools.. but who knew Little Johnny would become a deadly threat with a peanut in his pocket.. lol
I’m half amazed kids have not tried to sneak in peanuts into schools these days for whatever reason.

The screening should be for kids unfit for being in public We truly have a situation where the majority has to alter their ways in order to satisfy a tiny minority of the population. At a certain point, I think the public should be able to say:
"Stay home. Homeschool your kids. Make changes in your own life to deal with your own problems. Over here, the rest of us are going to go about our business."

Well, I would have to pull my kids out of school because the only kind of sandwich they WANT to bring is a PB&J.
Seriously, how did we survive all these years without the Allery Police dictating what we can have in our lunchboxes?
Please.

A group of Toronto-area children is asking the Ontario Human Rights Commission to force their school to launch mandatory lunch-bag inspections Why, that's nothing to sneeze at.

Our 1 year old has a potentially deadly peanut allergy, but this seems way beyond what is necessary. By the time kids are in school, they should be able to know what not to eat if they have one of these allergies.

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology estimates that from two to four per cent of children and one to two per cent of adults have allergic reactions to food, most commonly peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, milk, egg, wheat, soy and sesame. I have allergic reactions to a number of foods, but the reactions I have are minor.
I have to imagine that despite there being more and more people with such allergies, that those with life threatening allergies are still rare, and among those most would still need to ingest a reasonable amount of the food to which they are allergic before they would have a serious reaction.
Are they worried about some kid who should know better eating some other kid's food and having a reaction? Can someone provide some insight about what exactly they are concerned about?
To: bert
This leads to the tyranny of the minority. Life does not guarantee a planet free of all risk. Why stop at the school? What about businesses and towns, products in stores, etc. etc.

Because that makes too much sense. If you have special needs kids to look out for, it's easier to just encroach on the freedoms of others to eat what they want, rather than to make special accomodations for those with needs.
Suffering must be shared equally. One size must fit all.
Didn't you read the manual for liberalism??

I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches nearly every day in grade school. (Frankly, I loved it.)
I’m not aware of any children harmed during that eight years.
If these children are so brittle they can’t be exposed to normal food products, they should eat in a separate area.
It is preposterous what is taking place these days, with the PC crowd run amuk.
Folks, some people have a light sensitivity. Better find some way to block out the sun quick.

they also need to ban meat because it’s so cruel and causes global warming.
