Still an over-reaction, imo ... not that the school isn't being dopey.
I don't think he's over reacting. The majority of the school children have to change their diet or be relegateed to a cast-off type table over the allergy of 1 kid? That's unfair. I think it's great someone finally stands up to the dumb-ass "administration."
I understand fully the severity of peanut allergies. A kid in one of my daughters class has a peanut allergy. My daughter chose to be in the class and go peanut-free. OK, her choice, but I will not stand for any of my kids being forced into the measures necessary to accomodate %0.0125 of the school population. It's just unfair.
