If I was principle at a school where a particular child actually HAD such an extreme allergy that touching a door with peanut dust on it had brought a child to a state of emergency, I'd probably ban peanuts in the school.
But where does it end? Some children are allergic to sunlight. Should all classes be lead-curtained? Some kids are allergic (they say) to chemical cleaners. Should janitors have to carefully wipe down every chair with an organic baby diaper soaked in the tears of unicorns?
At some point, do we not say, "Sucks to be you and your kid, but the rest of us are living our lives. Take your own precautions, or put your kid in a safer environment."? Does the whole universe really have to come to a screeching halt so 0.1% of kids can pretend to live a "normal" life, when actually their parents have created a bubble of abnormality that follows them around. It's not doing them any favors, because when they become adults, that bubble will burst.
