But what 5th grader is being punished for repeating things he overheard his Dad listening to on Joe Rogan? Think about things a school-age child is more likely to actually say/believe though:

"Math is pointless." -> Uh oh, Johnny's dumb! Might need to hold him back a grade.

"I'm not going back inside. I'm going to keep playing on the jungle gym." -> Uh oh, Jenny's a troublemaker! Might need to suspend her.

"Isn't believing in God kind of silly? What if gay people aren't possessed by the devil?" -> Uh oh, we can't have little Harriet disrupting our parochial school's curriculum with these kinds of thoughts. Either send her to Pastor Dave's Devil-Free Summer Camp this summer, or next year she'll have to go to public school!
