With a history of severe allergies, all she wants is to wear her respiratory mask around campus when she isn't in her air-filtered room. The administration (acting on the assumption that the children are fueled by ghost stories) feels that the mask might spook students and cause a disruption in the school. Here we have an employee who actually wants to teach, but the county would rather pay for a sub while she is on sick leave. As long as she isn't carrying around a bloody machete as well, what's the problem here?

Story: Washington High School Student Suspended in Peanut Butter Bullying Case
Kill them with protein, that's what we always said. But seriously, if you haven't been around kids in a while then it is news to you that tons of them are somehow allergic to peanuts nowadays. So wiping peanut butter on a child with this allergy, is the equivalent to poisoning them with cyanide. Who would have thought lunch time can be the most dangerous place in schools?

Interesting tactic. I always thought bullies just pushed kids up against fences and broke their glasses. But I guess it's now 2008 and they are using advanced stealth techniques to conquer their enemies.

The Peanut Butter Sandwich Under Threat
But Jelly reigns supreme! (For now at least...)
If you haven't been around a school in a while you might think this is a joke. But apparently over the last decade or so we've begun to breed completely intolerable children with almost mythical allergies. That's right, since so many kids can't be around peanuts, school have started to ban the product. No peanuts, no peanut butter, no snickers bars, they won't even let them watch Peter Pan the movie.
Is this a scam? Did Smucker's start poisoning kids to have the monopoly on sandwich dressings?
It has become the base definition of segregation. Students who bring peanut products in their lunches are removed and placed at their own tables. This must make complete sense to a 9-year old. Try explaining to them that their lunch is the reason they can't sit with their friends. I can see them years down the road in high school sneaking jars of Jiffy in their locker cause it's just too hard to kick the habit.
What's going on here? Is anything left that can be taken away?
