I think restaurants need to deal with the problem not the class of people.

Ummm... Your not banning a "class" of people by not allowing children in under a certain age. This isn't discrimination or racism that's being discussed here, far from it! I don't like people playing the tuba while I'm eating either so is banning tuba players from a restaurant discriminatory or like banning a class of people??... I think not. There is a time and a place to play the tuba and it's not while sitting at a table at a fancy restaurant!
