This is a comment from the linked article. It is a comment from the parent of the girl with the allergy saying they did not know these things were going on, and did not request them and now that they know are just as enraged as the other parents:
"I am posting on here to hopefully reach the parents that are willing to listen for just a minute to the parents of this little girl. I read a posting on here from a parent who would be willing to sit down with us and discuss their concerns with us. We WANT THIS!! Most of these things being brought out into the media we did not know was going on until the protest started. Believe it or not if these things are truly going on then we are just as enraged as these parents are. We do not want them going on nor have we asked for them or demand them. We are kindly asking to be given a chanceto explain the truth and work things out so that no child feels the way our child is feeling right now. If this is truly not against our family or 6 year old then give us a chance to say the truth and back it up with documentation PLEASE!!"
Here is the page with the comment: http://www.wftv.com/news/27152881/detail.html
There is also a comment from another parent of the school right above it, and it looks as though they are going to talk and try to work it all out.
So everyone can chill now
I somehow find this hard to believe. Why would the school have gone to such lengths that no other school has if not demanded by the family. Oh sure now that the community is up in arms and they see how unreasonable and ridiculous they are being, and the story is now being spread across the nation it is easy to say "oh we didn't mean it", but I would like to have been a fly on the wall a few meetings ago and see if it wasn't a different tune they were singing.
