children,drinking and integrity

Now I'm going to go all parental.
My youngest son takes a packed lunch to school and for the past two days I have given him a bottle of diluted juice (dandelion and burdock flavour). Yesterday the lunch supervisor wouldn't allow him to drink it because the rules say no pop (soda). It's not pop he tells her to which she replies that he is a liar.
This morning I label his drink to say that if there is a problem identifying the contents they should contact me rather than question his integrity.
I have just had a call from my wife telling me that the head teacher refused to let him have his drink today on the grounds that it is pop.
My wife can get very angry.............
