I understand that your point is to make clear that no crime was committed in this case, and I accept that completely. I didn't actually mean to imply a crime had been committed when I speculated about what 33 might have meant.
What term do you think might be better to use to describe what the kid might have been trying to do if we assume that he wasn't simply motivated by purity of heart and the joy of spreading the Gospel?
I keep coming back to "harassment," not in the legal sense, but just because I think it's the word most of use would use, but it's lacking, especially because of the element of suggesting multiple events.
It appears that the teacher thought the kid had malicious intent in giving her that particular gift following their discussion about evolution. I suppose we could just say, proselytizing, but that doesn't make clear that he might have been doing it specifically because he had an audience he knew would be offended by his attempt.
