Why so much conflict with the peanut allergy in school age children?

There is actually no extra time being taken with hand washing when you think of regular cleanliness. When thinking of healthy snacks for school breaks at school other foods can be just as economical. Even simple ham sandwich or carrot sticks,cucumber sticks are ready good for kids. I am not against peanut butter all together. I am for good nutrition! All together now. Can I hear a pause for working together on the situation instead of hostility and ousting?
