Peanut free zone at elementary school

Categories: Safety, Eating & Nutrition

In December, Pleasant View Elementary School in Yorktown Indiana, banned all peanut based products. This of course included peanut butter, a childhood staple. The policy was put in place to accommodate a first-grader attending the school that has a severe life threatening peanut allergy. Many parents were outraged, one even said, "If the condition is so severe that it's considered life-threatening, then that child needs to be home-schooled."

In response, the school has offered a compromise, students are now able to bring peanut butter to school, but they must eat at designated tables separate from other students. The father of the student with the allergy said, "The compromise is what we asked for in the first place because of all the issues that go along with the peanut ban. We never asked for a complete ban, we just wanted them not to serve them [peanuts]."
