This is tough, because there really isn't much of a middle ground.
I understand where flip is coming from... just because one kid cannot have peanuts doesn't mean that everyone else can't have them either. Flip it back on the kid with the peanut allergy, what if he loves fish and someone in class is allergic to fish? Same scenario, but different role.
Of course, here is the other side of the coin... School put these things in place so they don't get into hot water with the parents...
It's really impossible to deal with... do we section off the school so kids with specific allergies are put somewhere within the school area and are not to be approached by the others? No, not possible, why? Because school is about integrating, not segregating... yet you can't have kids who have no allergies not be able to enjoy what they like because someone else could die...
Honestly, Which is best? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Or is this The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?
