As absurd as completely banning all nuts (and nut products and items which may have the remote possibility of having some relation to nuts) from a school campus because one student has an allergy??
As absurd as sueing airlines to force them to stop serving ‘airline peanuts’ because someone who has an allergy *might* want to fly someday??
Since when has the world gone so topsy-turvy that the vast majority must now ‘adjust’ to accomodate the tiniest minority, instead of the other way around??
I did not realize that this was a contest.
Yes, it is absurd. What difference does it make which one is the most absurd. Both alternatives are absurd. Fortunately, Banning all nuts and nut products or banning the kid are not the only alternatives.
Sheesh! Where has common sense gone? The school can easily accommodate this child, and it can do so without banning all nuts (I'm not counting the teachers here) and nut products.
To think schools can come with anything based on common sense is quite possibly an unsupportable belief.
Absolutely right!
The school can easily accommodate this child ...
Not with today's legal system, it can't.
The legal system seems to promote the idea that if it's unfair, it's wrong and justice must be sought. The truth is that fair or unfair often has nothing to do with right or wrong.
