habanero peppers! There was an evacuation and about 24 students/TAs decontaminated because there were some habaneros on the playground:

A public school in Colorado was evacuated and several students were hospitalized Monday after habanero peppers in the playground area sparked symptoms consistent with allergic reactions.

Seven students at Jefferson County Open School in Lakewood were sent to the hospital complaining of skin and eye irritation, and two dozen students and a teachers' aide had to be decontaminated Monday, according to The Associated Press.

To be fair, if you're a kid with asthma, you do not want to be inhaling that stuff...and also allergies, as the article mentioned.

Yep. Even without asthma, if you contact one and rub your nose or eyes, it can cause major burning. If you cook with them, you are probably well aware of the risks. I use scotch bonnet peppers in my jerk sauce to heat things up, and they can really do some damage if you aren't careful.

Death by gunshot or death by pepper. Just shoot me already.

The biggest danger to our schools is the liberal thought process. I am glad that my wife and I decided not to have children.

In this instance, it at least made some sense.
