I'm actually surprised that Freepers are decrying what appears to be discipline based on behavior,

IMHO, it is because they are disciplining everyone for the actions of a few.

They should punish the guilty, not take the cowards way out and punish everyone.

I suspect the problem is that it is many kids doing the behavior. Out of curiosity, have you ever monitored and been in charge of a playground full of kids?
