A federal appeals court ruled against a Colonial Williamsburg restaurant that turned away a student who wanted to bring in a homemade gluten-free meal on a field trip. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)Should a child with a severe gluten allergy be allowed to bring a homemade meal into a Colonial Williamsburg restaurant on a school field trip? A federal appeals court Friday ruled against the tavern that refused to let the child eat his own food at its site. The case was brought by an 11-year-old boy from Maryland who tried to bring his gluten-free chicken sandwich into Shields Tavern during a school trip in May 2017. A spokesman for Colonial Williamsburg said the foundation was disappointed by the court’s decision.
