War Child
Ok - so a coworker informed me today that her child can not bring a peanut butter sandwich, a Snickers bar or any peanut food as a snack or lunch item because they are trying to make the school "peanut free."
Isn't that ridiculous? Her child is not allergic, and no child in his class is allergic to peanuts but there may be a child in the school of about 800, that is allergic so he can't bring peanut foods.
Her child is a very picky eater and peanut butter is one of the foods he will eat, so now that has been eliminated as a choice.
I asked what would they do if he brought peanut butter anyway? She doesn't know, but imagines it would be a note or maybe some other action. Can you imagine your kid getting in trouble for bringing a peanut butter sandwich?
I hope they don't start saying they can't have hamburger because one of the kids may be muslim. Or pork if they have any Jewish kids.
Jeez.
