Let me see if I have this correct.

School districts set up No Peanut Zones in lunchroom if a student is
allergic to peanuts, or ban peanuts (peanut butter) on the possibility that
someone may be allergic.

On the other hand, we have a 3 year old with a serious allergy to any kind
of nut.  His parents cut down an old, possibly dangerous, walnut tree
because it poses a threat to their sons' health.  Local officials go NUTS
over this dastardly act.  Nature lovers send nasty E-Mails.  How dare the
parents cut down this tree.  Let the little boy suffer, or avoid going near
the all important tree.

Very interesting
