All I'm saying is that there is a better opportunity to have one of the kangaroo courts enforce on your behalf if you whine about some religious infringement.

I don't think you're right. The human rights code covers medical issues like her as disabilities, and they are WAY more active in enforcing human rights in terms of disabilities than they are in terms of religion.

My kids have been in classrooms where they were expected to not bring foods besides nuts, due to allergies.

In one particular class my daughter was in, I could not send anything nut, coconut, flax, or sesame seed. It was expected that when dealing with anaphylactic issues, we honoured other people's health and safety. But, on a classroom level. You simply can't factor in an entire school's worth of kids' allergies.

The teacher even went so far as to make kids eat anything minty in the hallway, as the smell for some reason makes my daughter ill (not an accommodation we requested).

Elementary school is a challenging environment in terms of contamination from allergens, but even so, no one ever expected the entire school drop all allergens. They didn't even ban nuts from the school, just from the group foods, and if you ate nuts, you had to do it in the office.

Now, what about all the allergies that are psychosomatic? Like my book mite allergy, my exercise allergy, my intercom allegiy, the lighting that makes me sneeze, windows, cedar shavings from the pencil sharpener and goats.

Find a therapist.

Could happen.............
Did happen.... I haven't seen a chalk board in a classroom in the entire time I've been raising my kids. Most of my kids' classes had smart boards.

I should become a therapist. The number of wingnuts is growing exponentially. Sh*t, come to think of it. I have an allergy to wingnuts.

Everything gets over analyzed. I like the Keyshawn Johnson approach, ' just throw me the goddam ball'.
