Cobb smooths flap: Schools can have peanut-free zones

A more than usually meddlesome school principal in Georgia had said that she was banning peanuts from her campus. The school district the next day said she wouldn't and there could be "peanut free zones" if someone actually has an allergy. (She apparently didn't even know if there was anyone who could be harmed by them.) What I'm taking from this is a continued reinforcement of my belief that the Dilbert Principle exists, and principals (excuse the pun) are among the beneficiaries. Every school principal I remember meeting has been either incompetent or a petty tyrant or both. I'm sure there are decent ones, I'm just saying I don't recall meeting any.
