[On a topic about peanut butter and teh evil yoga.]
My kids are extremely allergic to liberal teachings.....can I expect the school to ban them? ( I jest-I'm a home schooler)
As for yoga, do a search here and you will find many articles you can print out to use when you tell the school you expect an alternative for your child. It is based in a religion whether they like it or not. Stretching is one thing, but actual play and exercise can not be beat for kids.

"Stretching is one thing, but actual play and exercise can not be beat for kids."
Yoga IS exercise, foo'. I agree that kids need play, but for reasons other than exercise (eg socialising).
I read that whole thread. It was really disgusting. Aside from the general stupidity and ignorance about yoga, none of these people seem to care in the slightest about this other child's life-threatening allergy. They suggested that he or she should be homeschooled or made to eat lunch in a room alone, away from all the other kids. One of them said that "next thing you know, they'll tell us we can't give our kids peanut butter crackers for breakfast". Who the fuck gives their kid crackers for breakfast? Scramble an egg, bitch! No, the school has no right to tell anyone what they can do or serve in their home, but these hateful bitches seemed to be trying to come up with ways to send their children to school with peanut butter on their breath or their person. One of them said "well I try to wipe the peanut butter of their faces before they go out the door but sometimes you miss it"! They just don't care about this other child's life! It's sickening! They have no compassion whatsoever. Jesus would not have anything to do with people like this. I hate to break it to them, but if heaven is real, they ain't going.
funmudder, CPS should take all your kids away from you. You are 100% unsuited for parenthood.
And when CPS has taken your kids away, you should check into a mental hospital and get some treatment for your mental issues.
Hey, funmudder, I hope you are reading this because I've always wanted to tell you what a stupid, self-righteous, dry-boxed old bigot you are. Please do keep saying stupid shit so we can mock you. And if you were anywhere near me I would punch you in your no-doubt ugly face.
if you don't like it home school your child and both of you can play and exercise. You could also send them to a private school. Or you can organize a game based on the Crusades or a mock Salem witch trial. How fun would that be! Unfortunately some would want to play Christians and Lions.
how arrogant and self-righteous these people are.
Oh, didn't you know? Banning peanuts due to a child's allergy is all a part of the satanic, liberal agenda. Peanut butter is out, Yoga and sodomy is in. It's a slippery slope, folks. Ban PB to save a child's life and before you know it, the government will be taking your guns. </end sarcasm>
makes me want to go all postal worker and kill them.
Forgive me, please, for being off topic, but what does this mean? I've read 'going postal' before, and simply not understood it: my interpretation of postal is snail mail, which is slow and delivered mostly anonymously (over here in the UK, anyway). I'm obviously missing something!
The sick thing is they are whining about the effect that yoga may have on their kids spiritually and ignoring the effect that peanut butter may have on the other kid in real life. I kinda think, after reading the whole thread, that most of them don't take the peanut butter allergy seriously. I suspect they think if everyone involved prayed harder, it would go away.
It would be horrible for a child to go into dangerous anaphylactic shock but it infringes upon everybody's rights when you can't even feed your child peanut butter on a school day because of one person.
There must be some kind of compromise that satisfies everybody. I don't know what it is, but I hope there would be one.
These are a few of the things I took for lunch as a small child:
bologna and cheese
The kid who can't eat peanut butter manages to find something to eat every day, I see no reason why the rest of these brats can't.
I learned how to pack for myself when we had an intern with peanut allergies. I could even do it without meat. Hummus, tabbouleh (uh-oh, Muslim influence!), tzatziki, cheese, mini bean burritos, salads, soy "nut" butter (better when it's the honey-roasted kind), leftover soup...
Suppose we could teach them how to distinguish a real threat to a child from a "spiritual" threat and give them tips on making peanut-free lunches? *sigh*
I'm sure your kids are not allergic to liberal teachings . . . you are.
Stop with the yoga shit. It's pissing me off. You don't know what your talking about.
Can't you fucking people be raptured already and leave us alone. (sorry for the language, but the world is full of people really doing harm to each other but yoga and wanting children with allergies to be punished is what they worry about.) Seems screwy to me.
"It is based in a religion whether they like it or not. Stretching is one thing, but actual play and exercise can not be beat for kids." Actually ... I have to agree with this.
There is a LOT of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo in Yoga that's every bit as ludicrous as the stories in the Bible.
Well, okay, maybe not as ludicrous as the story of 2 (or 7) of every animal species on Earth being cared for in a single cramped wooden boat for a year, but still pretty darned ludicrous.
( I jest-I'm a home schooler)
Oh THANK JEEBUS! There was me screaming with fear that you were allowing your child to have a quality, balanced education! And affording them opportunities to learn the social skills and Joie de vive that you obviously never gained (as is evidenced by your hard-on for the end of the world)!
I'm 25 and somehow I've survived to live my whole life without peanutbutter. On the other hand we did have free lunch at school every day, but I don't think that any of the foods served there had any kind of nuts in them.
Some allergies just need to be taken seriously, you know. It's serious business when someone is having anaphylactic shock, the only epipen with you is already used, the ambulance on the way takes still few more minutes to arrive and you know that praying wont do the trick (and it wouldn't do the trick even if you believed in it)
I know this because there is seriously allergic person in my family (chololate, nuts, soy, milk, even the smell of fish, touching bananas/tomatoes/something that have had fish/soy or nuts in it and so on) and yes, people around that person have changed their eating habits and are not complainig about it. Neither did anyone complain when this said person was in school and some things had to be changed when allergies started to appear and amazingly all the people at the place they are working now have agreed not to bring lunches with them that might risk their life.
I think I might be seriously allergic to stupid, self centrated people who can't even think for a minute how it would be if the roles we're other way around, but luckily all I get from it is stress related rash...
Being allergic to nuts can set off a reaction called anaphylactic shock, which is potentially fatal if not treated in time. The worst yoga will do is give you sore muscles, if not done correctly. Build a bridge and get over yourself, funmudder, you self-adsorbed idiot.

Soccer moms having a knee-jerk reaction.
Isn't that the point of being a soccer mom?
"It is based on religion, whether they like it or not".............sorry, but it's not based on religion, whether you, ignorant homeschooler like it or not(and they have done REAL research)
Jokes aside, peanut butter is usually banned in school because if your allergic, you are very sensitive and you could die. And your kids wouldn't be "allergic" to liberal teaching (saying that in relation to public schools shows how little you know of them, btw) if you didnt raise them that way.
Also, if you have ever taken a yoga class, you would know that it has nothing to do with religion. Its mostly just stretching and breathing.
You should send your kids to Sweden; here they will get a socialistic teaching, no right-wing liberal teachings here.
I missed the part with serious allergy of peanuts. Peanut butter is not part of the nutritional pyramid, or whatever you call it in English. Peanuts are snacks, good for Friday nights in front of a good movie. Thats about it.
I'm happy that I live in a country where it's mandatory to attend public school, recently also private dito (that was not allowed when I went to school).
Thing I don't understand... These people believe in all-powerfull being. They also believe that above mentioned creature can hear them, through prayer. My question is: Why bother protesting and doing anything BUT praying? Why do those people lose temper over triffles? Dude, if you truly believe, stay cool, go home and pray the thing that annoys you away.
They are either lacking faith or have enough traces of unconscious common sense to know that prayer doesn't work. And that's why they have and cause problems. /end of rant
"It is based in a religion whether they like it or not”
Chemistry started as alchem6, which we don't teach.
We can teach yoga without the religion.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
