Perhaps that personal responsibility for my own child's health would include enrolling him/her in a small private school that was prepared to cater to our needs. Your child is first and formost YOUR responsibility. I disagree that your child's health is my responsibility, nor is it society's in America,as we are not a socialist country. I care about children with allergies, and I would provide alternatives for them in the cafeteria, but I do believe that the freedoms of the majority should not be trampled on in order to provide individualized solutions for one. If my child required complete protection from a common childhood food, I would place my child in an education environment that was highly individualized and personal, rather than take the risk of demanding an entire public school comply with my wishes!
