The letter states the restrictions are due to allergy concerns (a stupid concession of its own), but I’ve never heard of a person with a pork allergy.

If you ban every food that someone is allergic to, you'd have to ban pretty much everything. The only thing I would ban is peanuts, and ONLY if a specific student is known to have an extremely violent, potentially fatal reaction to them. That is very rare.

I've really decided that PORK is my favorite meat...better than beef...(okay, maybe not better than a ribeye)

but pork is so versatile....

it adds so much to sausage, and sausage is what makes Italian food special...

and German food...

and Polish food...

etc etc etc.....

There is a child at my Granddaughters Grade School that has a peanut allergy. It’s a real pain for everyone else as nothing made with peanut butter or Peanut oil is permitted in the school. I asked the parent of the kid and she was up-front about it. The kid is so allergic to peanut products of any kind that he carries an epi-pen all of the time and they can’t go out to eat at most restaurants, etc.

I kind of felt sorry for them but the kid is a real upbeat kind of little guy.

I also had a relative that had a shellfish allergy... She was a real Pain-in-the-butt to go out to dinner with. Always lecturing the wait staff and management about keeping cooking utensils and pots and pans separate so that people like her don’t get hit with an allergic reaction.

Now as far as being allergic to pork? That’s a new one for me. Religious objections, yeah. A real allergy... no.

Me neither. And while I do know some people with real food allergies, I think a large number of these allergies are phony. Allergies are just being used to dictate to everyone what they can and can’t eat.
