Ill tell my 30 month old to get right on that...
WILL NOT PROTECT ANY CHILD FROM DYING!
It will lessen the risk of exposure at school where the parents cant be..
I said that if your child will die from someone eating peanut butter before talking to them, they are not going to survive a normal childhood.
Not what you said: 'not long for this world', usually indicative of imminent death.
how is a school stopping all treat trading going to help the person avoid all peanut dust?
I never said the all treat trading should have been stopped, read some of *my* post before telling me what I think and the reason I think doing anything more than banning peanuts in the school is wrong is because then I am stepping on other peoples rights there is a balance to be struck.
What about someone eating peanuts at a ballgame and wearing the same jacket to school the next day?
I have been quite clear up to this point, why now do you expect a different answer? Its a matter of rights. A school has the right to say don't bring peanuts its their building and is reasonable! Telling someone what to do outside of the school is not reasonable or within their rights.
So can he wear the jacket to school as is, or should it be tested for peanut dust before it can be brought in?
Because, honestly, if he wears the jacket in, he is as much, if not more, of a risk to the hyper-allergic child than someone having eaten peanut butter recently.
If he is more of a risk, then what is the point of the treat trading ban?
Go ahead and call me Margaret Sanger again.
I said: "Sorry, and I really am, but if a child can die from a situation like described above (and some can), they are not long for this world no matter how many school boards ban treat trading."
This means exactly what it says. No matter how many school boards ban treat trading, you will not prevent a hyper-allergic child from running into someone, someday, that has eaten peanuts a few minutes before they talk to the child.
When that happens, the child will have a severe allergic reaction. When that happens, a parent that has not prepared for these circumstances will likely lose thier child.
What you have done so far with your daughter is to prepare for this circumstance. But others rely upon the government to prepare for them.
It has nothing to do with wanting to wipe out people, it's simply a fact. These children are at a high risk of death. And I am sorry for that.
