Obvious Hint: Just think about what we always complain about when it comes to Gubmint mandated smoker bans in PRIVATE as opposed to PUBLIC places. Come on...

That is EXACTLY my point.

Instead of making ALL of the kids conform to the needs of the ONE, this school chose to side with the majority of the "patrons" of the establishment -- the parents of the other kids in the school.

I knew you would understand.

Conversely, if the “patrons/students/parents” decided to start their own school where peanuts were banned a freedom loving person like yourself would have no objection.

The peanut lover is free to take their business elsewhere. They can go to a school that serves peanut omelettes for breakfast, peanut casserole for lunch and all the desks are made of edible peanuts.

Just like nobody is forcing a private bar owner to allow smoking if his customers are annoyed by it. Those customers would be free to walk across the street to the smokey bar that caters to them.

What were we disagreeing about again? I forgot.
