Villain, Sympathy to you sincerely, I send you warm thoughts.
Guest. I can see where you are coming from, but feel that you may be being a little extreme. If we follow your argument we may as well stop society from doing everything. I keep cats but have a friend with a severe cat allergy. She has chosen to keep me as a friend. She comes to my house, but takes relevant medication before she visits. My eldest daughter will soon be old enough to drive. I know that there is a risk that she MAY get herself killed in a car accident, do I prevent her from driving? Maybe I should give up driving too, just in case. I am asthmatic, Perhaps if I stop breathing I will not poison my lungs with the pollution that the life we live today pumps out into the world...........................................
Yes, we need to understand, we need to be educated but somewhere along the road your theory fails - you protect them through school by banning nuts, they go out into the world and what then? do we just have a blanket ban on Nuts? Can we then ban Tree Pollen, which has put me in hospital several times? Bees need to be banned - and shellfish, so my sister is safe too..... where does it end? How about banning Sugar to protect diabetics and banning wheat to protect coeliacs? I feel you made your point initially but are now maybe being Devils advocate. Give the guy a break, In my opinion, if the school has a NO NUTS policy it should ensure that parents are aware of it! That was obviously not the case. Had the school made clear their decision, I am sure that all would comply with it and no confusion would have arisen. They are at fault, whether the nuts ban is right or wrong!
In peace, Yours
