Peanuts and peanut butter are not necessary for learning, and there are many healthful alternatives. Demanding that a child have access to special foods that are not medically necessary is unreasonable. If your school had a ban on chewing gum, would you protest? Frankly, I would rather have gum on my shoe than have a child in the hospital. Also, keep in mind that having an allergic child in a class can be a positive thing. It gives the children opportunities to learn compassion, respect, and an understand how precious every life is. Name: Email: Subject
