[b]Restaurant patrons, of which there are presumably thousands, do have a right to eat in a restaurant without disturbance from other people.[/b]  If you think that is entitlement, rather than one person going against the grain because its easier for them, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

No, they don't. They may have a desire to. They may have an expectation of it. But they don't have a right to it. They do not have a right to not be disturbed by witnessing other people's behavior when in a public place.

[b]What if, instead of a child with special needs, it were an adult with special needs?[/b] Would you similarly demand that this person were required to stay home, lest they disturb you?

In the meantime, perhaps consider sticking to restaurants that exclude children. If there are so many thousands of restaurant patrons who share your beliefs, there must be restaurants like that.[/quote]

I have yet to see an adult with special needs running around a restaurant, in front of servers, up to other tables, disturbing other patrons.  So I can't really see your comparison.[/quote]

But adults with special needs do other things that disturb people. Adults without special needs also do things that disturb people, of course.[/quote]
