You seem to be choosing an argument when there really is not one.Interesting, how would you know that your child was allergic to lion meat? Are there any religious restrictions against eating lions and wouldn't your child know if there were. Was the child forced to eat the lion?
The nanny-ism involved in schools and society in general is simply out of control.
Young children do not know what ingredients are in food and are subject to peer pressure. You know that you would have done something when you were in the 4th grade because classmates dared you, I did. Cookies, cakes, etc. can all use ingredients which are not apparent when eating them. Eg. peanut butter could be a hidden ingredient.
Jews, Muslims, and Seventh-Day Adventists all follow the Old Testament's food restrictions.
A teacher or principal should not determine what your child eats. That is a parent's responsibility. Potential food 'experiments' should be cleared with parents first. That is simple and logical. If you choose to argue the point, something may be missing in your parenting skills.
