BANNING PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES
Dennis Prager WRITES an interesting piece on how out-of-control "compassion" has led to the banning of peanuts of any kind at a Georgia elementary school. It seems the allergies of two or three kids dictates that the school makes everyone else suffer, lest the school appear insensitive to these children and their parents. This is one more example of American public schools focusing on feelings and self-esteem instead of something important like reading and math. I'm sure this school has already banned dodgeball and tag, because it leads to hurt feelings. The kids in this school are definitely going to be wusses.
