Seriously? You've never seen that? I have several friends w/ children who were restricted from being certain allergens to school (lunches from home, for example), if one of their classmates had a severe allergy to something (like nuts, for example). May only be for younger institutions though, or it could just be they're a bit tighter here in Vermont (which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest). May not be a countrywide thing, or it could be school to school. Not entirely sure because I don't have kids, and have never dealt with it first hand.
May just be a school specific thing, actually, after doing a bit of poking around. Administrations are given leeway to setup allergy protection measures, some schools mandate that you're not allowed to bring certain things into the classroom of a kid with that kind of allergy. So, it appears that it's mainly up to the school. There is talk of a 'nut ban' at schools, but it appears that even the parents of children w/ nut allergies, generally don't agree with the concept.
