I can seriously see such a thing happening in Portland Public Schools...proponents just say “it’s for the children” and half of the electorate would gladly vote in extra taxes to pay for the food police.
I’m sensitive to liberals. They make me sick. When I see Hillary, for example, I feel like I’m about to puke. I say we just ban liberals to protect all of our human rights.
“they also need to ban meat because it’s so cruel and causes global warming.”
You joke, but that can’t be far behind. Wouldn’t want to offend any vegetarians or veggans. Why not? The precedent is being established.
"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."
I hope that point has come.
"OOH Mommy, I might see a peanut!"
Has anyone even attempted to explain how bringing a peanut or egg product onto campus is going to kill someone?
Wouldn't the stupid little allergic fart have to eat it or something?
Yes, we see it in action all the time.
hmm no we’re better off if we homeschooled and let the whiners stay in public school.

I may be wrong but I believe the peanut dust could be toxic to someone with that allergy. But I can’t imagine a lot of kids bring cans or bags of peanuts to school. I’d like to know how someone eating a PBJ next to someone with a peanut allergy can be harmful.
Kids don't sneak peanuts into schools.
They sneak peanuts into their noses...
Can’t argue with that.
Hey, you may be on to something...
I’m betting the left is already moving along these lines, and we’re too late.
If someone is going to get killed by “peanut dust”, it’s better to just get it over with at a young age—survival of the fitest and all that.
Your kid might TRADE a tasty snack made with peanut oil for Little Johnny’s “safe” food.
Better idea: if your kid is that allergic to some foods, then the school should provide a room for thier lunch time. Use as many rooms as possible! Better than Food Nazis! “No lunch for you!”
closer would be survival of “the one who whines the loudest and people capitulate just to shut them up”
There are multiple religions that ban pork, at least one that bans beef, prohibitions on meat & dairy combined, prohibitions on shellfish...
No meat. No glutten. No dairy. No nuts.
Enjoy your lettuce, hope you don’t get ecoli. < /s >
This would not apply, of course, to the ones that did not make it past the abortionists' scalpel.
What is a school lunch for a healthy kid without the occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
We are in an era when the limits and desires of the weak and of minorities are becoming government enforced boundaries for the majority.
How long before healthy kids are not allowed to run, skip, jump, whistle, sing or dance because some others can't do it, can't do it as well, or just don't like it?
i grew up with a chocolate allergy. It had the potential to (and it did at times) send me into severe asthma attacks. These were the days before fast acting inhalers. However I managed to get thru many a birthday party at school without eating chocolate cake or cupcakes that were brought in. I knew what to eat and what I couldn’t eat. No one else had to sacrifice anything because of me.
There’s kid in M<A that has a Latex allergy. The school which he may or may not attend next year is removing all Latex based products in anticipation.
