Good grief, this is beyond pathetic. As I see it, this is a trend toward (some) people becoming more and more selfish. What ever happened to people being gracious about the fact that perhaps they, themselves, could not indulge in (for example) ice cream, or other foods--yet, being generous enough to be happy for others? I think the comment that disgusted me the most was when provisions were made to include some alternative foods, and yet some people felt they were being labelled 'different'? :rolleyes: OH PLEASE . . . !!! :eek:

I wish that the picnics went on, regardless, as it sounds to me that the majority of people had no issues at all and wanted to have a good time. The problem is that the people who want to spoil everything for others are winning these types of battles, and it's infuriating. However, I figure that in our litigious society, your school system had no choice but to shut this down. :mad:

As someone who has allergies, I agree wholeheartedly. It's one thing to ban a food because there's an actual health concern. For instance, my schools never carried peanut products and always had a peanut free table in the cafeterias. But that was for a legitimate health concern. Not simply because it made those with peanut allergies uncomfortable, but for their safety. This is just an example of, "Oh, we can't have any hurt feelings."

I kind of feel bad because when I fly, I report having a peanut allergy, and they suspend service of peanut products. I do it because it allows me to preboard and wipe down my seating area and it reduces the likelihood of having a problem, which then could potentially ground the flight and inconvenience everyone. But I do feel bad about it, at least until my dad stops complaining about the fact he has to eat pretzels instead of peanuts. :hilarious:

2 of our 3 principals have moved on now. 1 to go. The same superintendent hired all three. The newer 2 are great with kids and interact well with them. The one remaining is now now that fake sweet, don't turn your back. I figure that one will put notice of intent to retire soon. God Speed.

It makes me wonder what is going to happen to those kids when they grow up and can't dictate to everyone else what they will wear or what they will eat.

Unfortunately, they would just move to social networks to try to curfew and dictate everyone's tastes. This has been happening a lot regrading many things. Including racism, feminism and other stuff.
Its bad that they already go to extremes and use silly remarks.. I mean..Anything that dont fit their tastes, will get you labeled racist, misogynist..etc.. Even if the things you did had nothing to do with the problem at hand.

Well, in your case its noted because peanuts can cross contaminate other food.
And not everyone has full accounting of what dishes have peanut, who to server and who doesnt.
In the examples by @Gabe1 .. The complains were outside the areas and banned things as simple as hotdogs... that's Ridiculous.

Yeah, my best friend has regular appointments....she LOVES it. That's what she does with her girls for birthdays and things, but the leg massage part of the pedi was so incredibly painful to me I just wanted to scream "STOOOOOP!!" The mani wasn't bad I guess...I had that for my wedding, but I had broken 3 nails and so she added tips to those 3 and I could NOT get them off after the wedding. I soaked them in polish remover and they just wouldn't budge. And they just felt so weird....I'd never had fake nails or tips before. I just do my own nails now and don't have to worry about removing tips, or painful massages, or paying beaucoup bucks to have it done for me.

The place I go isn't too expensive and my nails last 4 weeks before needing to get done. So it isn't much more than if I did them myself. Figure the cost of gel, polish, remover, etc. and the time to do them myself every week. Worth every penny. I also usually go with a friend that's on the same nail schedule and we go for lunch and/or coffee after.:joyfull: To each their own, that's what makes the world go round.:joyfull:

I think in ten years we only had an issue with one trip and it was limited to 2 students. They wanted to ride a particular rollercoaster and it was departure check-in time. They had staff looking in the park for over an hour for those 2. Hard pressed to spot anyone in a line. So everyone including the bus drivers had to wait until they were ready to go home. While beyond annoying and they didn't get to attend the 8th grade dance (haha) our principal over reacted also. He brought to the board that this trip will never happen again to Six Flags. Punishing future students for the deeds of 2 students that no longer would even attend that school was beyond ridiculous.

(Memo to students and parents in your school district): There will be no picnics, no Six Flags, and no fun will be tolerated moving forward.

Trying to recall here--I think it might have been about 3 years ago when I was flying to Orlando, the flight attendant came to my row and maybe 3 in front, and 3 behind mine. He asked if we would all refrain from any peanut products, due to a person with a peanut allergy ahead. (They did not announce to the entire plane. He said their policy was 3-4 rows in front and behind for banning peanut products.) So I'm not sure if that has changed since, but just thought I'd mention it. That was the only time I recall that someone had a peanut allergy on a plane. (It was Jet Blue, by the way.)

Southwest refrains from peanut product service and asks the entire plane to refrain from eating peanut products. Same thing on Delta. It probably varies by airline.
