Mom Demands School Go Peanut-Free For Allergic Child

425. I don't think you get the point of accommodation

Kids who are lactose intolerant usually just have to do without. My point is if you are going to bend over backwards for one child you can make reasonable accommodations for other children. It isn't unreasonable to offer dairy free alternatives to other children. It isn't unreasonable to have menu items for children who have religious dietary restrictions. And it isn't unreasonable to accommodate children who are vegetarians.

Now the problem is that accommodations are expensive and someone is going to have to figure out who has to pay what price. I don't happen to think low income people or people who are vegetarian should have to give up a staple because someone somewhere has an allergy even if it is a severe one. If that is the case someone needs to open up their wallets to accommodate those who are low income or vegetarian and help them with the added cost of not being able to us their go-to staple.
