What the Heck...For Real?!?!
Apparently, the lunchtime favourite PB & J sandwich is verboten in one corner of Arkansas.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich sparks controversy: Can we really ban nut products from schools? | Team Mom - Yahoo! Shine
Now, that's just un-American!!!

Unfortunately this is a nation wide thing mla. Pretty much if there is one kid with a peanut allergy in a school they will ban all nut products now.

I know someone who carries injections with him because his allergy to peanuts is so bad. He can't fly on a plane that serves them. A good strong whiff of them starts a reaction. if he ate one he'd be dead in minutes. This is real serious stuff. People don't understand the issue. In most places you can't smoke in doors anymore and really in a school a kid is hostage and if the kid who ate before him smeared some peanut butter on the table and such a kid got it on him he's be on the way to the hospital.

Uhhh, no; the one kid isn't the hostage -- all the others ARE. The one with the allergy to peanuts HAS TO LEARN how to deal with it, NOT the other kids. HE carries it with him, and will continue to do so for the remainder of his life. As with all the other subjects in school, HE needs to learn about HIS problem, and not them. Sorry, but that's the same cock-eyed thinking that got school yard jungle-gyms torn down and playgrounds closed.
OTOH, his teachers and the school administration MUST KNOW about his peanut allergy, and MUST KNOW how to administer his injector. But that's as far as "in loco parentis" should go. Just my 2-cents.
What we WILL do is "accommodate" the child, i.e., provide him with an alternate place in which to eat his lunch... with teacher supervision, possibly with a few of his friends (who know and understand the peanut issue, as do their parents). ACCOMMODATE, but not more... not on the rights of ALL THE REST.
