It's not just the school district eliminating these products, it's the fact that they're telling the rest of the parents that their child can't eat/bring these things.

If the mother would stop and think, she'd realize this is only going to make the other kids resentful of her child. "Jimmy's allergic to legumes so you can't have your PBJ" doesn't really sink in with a 6 year old - all he knows is that he can't have his PBJ and it's Jimmy's fault.
