Yesterday I read this news article where a shcool in florida is imposing strict rules in their classrooms because of one kid who has severe peanut allergy. Kids have to rinse their mouth before entering class room, no peanuts or peanut based product in school and desk needs to be wiped with antibacterial wipes everyday. Parents of the remaining kids are protesting against such strict rules and demanding that the parents of the kid with allergy should remove her from the school and go for home schooling. Their pov is that for one kid’s sake, rest of the school kids should not be forced to change their lifestyle.

What if you are that parent of such kid? would you remove your kid from the school or make school impose strict rules as above that affects all the other kids of that school?

I think I would remove my kid and go with home schooling.

I just came across this video. idk I feel so angry at these parents…

I wonder if parents protested when schools started calling for ramps in buildings for handicap access…?

What lifestyle change are they speaking of exactly? They can’t have certain foods? no peanut based snacks? and one girls’ experience in school should be ruined over that?

The video states that the kids are to rinse their mouths and wash their hands first upon entering the school then after lunch time. Allergies or not, isn’t that just good hygiene???

I feel sorry for the little girl who has to see so much anger over something she has no control over.
