This from the WSJ BOTW:

A second-grader was suspended for a day for telling a classmate he'd go to hell for swearing to God. She was told to stay home because she had violated the policy forbidding profanity.

As the BTOW rightly states, it was her counterpart who was guilty of being profane, but I doubt that his offense was what the administration had in mind when they issued their decree. They were, in all likelihood, more concerned about vulgarity, rather than profanity. On that sentiment, though, I'd submit that the girls was not even guilty of uttering a vulgarity. Soteriological issues aside, she was not being hateful, just admonitory. Whether her caution is regarded as being deported to somewhere as real as Des Moines or as fanciful as Neverland is irrelevant. What matters is that the school's leaders were so worried about silly rules that they were completely in the wrong and they stole a day from this girl's matriculation.
