"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.

“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.”

It’s more sensible for that student to make alternate educational arrangements, then for the entire school to be inconvenienced.
