Is it intelligent to risk the lives of some children just so others can eat peanuts?

I hope you're being facetious. I don't discount the allergies for one minute but if you truly think an entire school should be banned from bringing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, you've gone completely off the deep end.

You obviously have no idea how serious peanut allergies can be. Even 1/1000 of a peanut (could be airborne) can cause an allergic child to go into anaphylactic shock (I've read that 20% of all anaphylactic shock cases in ERs are peanut allergies). I guess that is worth a PB&J.
