Absurd.
Absurdity is definitely in fashion these days.
Using an Epi-Pen isn’t exactly major surgery! I’m sure the boy knows how to use it. If he can — then the teachers sure should have enough brains to learn how to use it, too.
Also — doesn’t the school have a nurse?
” Absurd. “
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??
No, what’s absurd is when the school bans all nuts, anytime, on the whole campus, because one little darling is allergic. That’s absurb, and it happens on our side of the pond.
I say great. The child is unfit to be in society alone. He must live in a bubble to assure survival.
All the world must not be qurantined to protect him
Absurd.
not absurd at all at least the Brits did not make a whole school stop eating PBJ’s. They did as they should have took steps until they had a solution in place so he and the school could handle his condition. Why the hell should other kids suffer because he has allergies?
If you ban the nuts, it’s a catastrophe.
If you ban the kids, it’s a catastrophe.
If you ban neither and a kid dies from an analphyactic reaction, it’s a catastrophe.
This, folks, is what we call a conundrum.
This is exactly what FR has said should be done in the past on these threads. Some minds changing?
