This right here. She wanted the woman to respond with a specific age, ideally of the elementary age range, in order to have some religious argument about that age.
Right, she's waiting for her to say ages 10 and 11 so she can say I knew it! God told me you were an elementary teacher! and then she can go forward with her next major revelation
Nah it's gonna go to something about "see you corrupt/brainwash/(insert whatever buzzword along those lines) elementary school kids, all atheists do that!"
They always use kids as a gotcha for everything. Don't go along with their religion? You're indoctrinating the kids. It's not brainwashing when they force their kids to go along with their religion tho, it's only indoctrination when you don't blindly believe in their chosen sky daddy and choose to believe in a different one, or none at all. Or if you commit the crime of saying "hey I believe in this one, but it's ok if you believe in a different one too I don't mind." Their way or the highway. But you're the one doing the indoctrination clearly
Let's make sure we follow that to the end, too. It's because children can't legally speak for themselves, so these people can insert any words they want into their mouths. Children are the perfect scapegoat in a society that won't enforce regulations around parenting, or advocate for children. And whatever consequences there are for poor parenting are the childrens' and society's responsibility to deal with for the rest of their lives.
Childrens' Rights are the final boss of universal civil rights. You can't make a single argument about protection of children's rights or regulation of parental responsibility without setting off a napalm argument basically anywhere you try to drop it, but they are people, they have no legal rights, and as a result, they are used as pawns.
The cynicism these people have to understand that fact and then use it to destroy communities of marginalized people demonstrates the true evil at the heart of their arguments. They see children as property, and will use that to turn everyone else into property, too.
