Wouldn't it be easier to move 1 child, rather than inconvenience many?

I find it hard to believe that only one table can accommodate all the PB&J eaters, unless elementary school diets have changed that much since I was a kid.

I think what's changed is most kids now probably buy their lunch.

"I don't think everybody should have to suffer because of one kid," said Mike Raper I believe HL Menkcen used to define a Puritan as "someone who is worried that someone else, somewhere, may be having fun".
My definition of a Leftist: "Some who thinks everyone should have to suffer because someone, somewhere is unfortunate".

"I don't think everybody should have to suffer because of one kid," said Mike RaperGet a grip, Mike ... "suffer"? SUFFER? Over a hundred thousand dead in Asia, and you think sitting at a different table during lunch is "suffering"? Grow up, before your maybe-gonna-be-my-stepdaughter-someday grows up to be a useless, whiny, professional victim.

This is a tough one.
Peanut allergies are serious and some kids can have major reactions (i.e. life threatening reactions) from the slightest contact to peanuts.
I think they are going a bit far. But there should be a concerted effort to keep the allergic kids away from potential exposure.
To: TheBigB
Oddly, I don't remember kids dropping dead in the cafeteria during peanut-butter day.

Maybe everyone should just move to a whole new city.

hmm how allergic is this kid? My brother couldn't even touch the stuff (peanut oil and the like) but he could be in the same room with me when i ate peanut butter. Sometime i did as a kid daily.
Make the kid bring his epipen (sp?) to school every day or give it to the girl (sorry that was sexist)...person who watches the kids eat lunch in case something bad happens.
This poor kid (the one with the allergy) is going to be shield then next thing you know he'll be walking through china town and happen into a restaurant serving cashew chicken and keel over. And i pity the restaurant that didn't have it's own peanut gallery.

I would think it would be easier to segregate the poor kid that allergic to peanuts than to segregate the kids who bring peanut butter for lunch. Maybe the parents of the allergic kid ought to homeschool him... no, wait, then he couldn't be indoctrinated by all the teachers preaching their liberal diatribe to young and tender minds.

Oh, no. Not a "special needs" child. They must be taught that they are more important than everybody else and the world will change to suit them.

A report on the radio this morning indicated that 3 million people in the U.S. are allergic to peanuts.
In other words 1%. So potentially 00% of the kids could be eating in the peanut butter segregated area.

Me either. Kids only dropped dead in my school when it was tuna casserole and spinach day.

It may depend on when you went to grade school. I'm not trying to be insulting here. But many of these severe food allergies to things like peanuts and milk are pretty recent in their being widespread enough to be noticed.
