I encourage this type of education. Kids need to be held accountable for their actions, just like everyone else.

Normalize humility

“unacceptable language”

i’d wager that this parent’s gripe is not about the word “bozo” but that their child’s behavior was criticized.

accountability is not abuse.

    Maybe they're a family of clowns, and they consider "Bozo" to be a racial epithet against their people.

    Maybe they're followers of a clown religion where Clown, Bozo the is considered a holy figure? It'd be like taking the Lord's name in vain!
