Under current law, 1A free speech is limited in an educational context, so I do think that the school could punish him. Nonetheless, the criminal law does not change because the acts took place in or in relation to a school. The kid still has all 1A defenses with respect to it.
I think the ADL wants to extend the 1A limitations to the criminal context where the statements are made at or in relation to a school, and thereby control all speech a child may engage in whether inside or outside of school due to children's near constant relationship to a school.
