Aloha,

I too had to supply doctor's notes to my children's school, so they would
not be "forced" to take the milk.  I still had to go into the cafeteria a
few times until the workers there got to know my kids should not be given
milk.  My 5 year old was a little intimidated about speaking up (hard to
believe).

I resent this very much.  Why do I need a doctor's note?  I am the
mother!

My children are seen as the odd ones by the staff.  Goodness sake, this
is Hawai'i where the majority of the population is  Asian and Pacific
Islander.  Milk shouldn't even be an option in the schools here!

Down off the soap box.


Aloha,
