Political Correctness in School

My five year old son likes peanut butter sandwhiches. He has to sit on his own at lunchtime at school in case other children or staff with allergies are affected.

It seems a bit draconian to ostracise a young boy for the sin of eating peanuts. Would it not be more appropriate for the staff to identify children with allergies and ensure no-one else eats my sons butties?

This is the same school that had an event in their sports day of hanging washing: children lined up to run to a washing line, hang some pretend laundry and then run back. Really.

Is this normal?
