Really?

A sixth grade student at a school in New Jersey’s Somerset Township was sentenced to “five lunch-time detentions” for criticizing a fellow classmate’s vegetarianism.

The student had told his classmate “it’s not good to not eat meat” and “[he] should eat meat because he’d be smarter and have bigger brains.” He added that “vegetarians are idiots.”
