Correct, just as if you heard the noise of someone loudly vomiting or defecating wildly in the stall next to you you could not bother them. Seems that maybe the ACLU aren't quite as dumb as you might think.

It wouldn't be very good. But the child isn't exactly being "exposed" to that behavior. He's just hearing it through a divider. By your argument, a hotel with thin walls should ban its clientele from having sex in their rooms, because children in adjoining rooms might hear them.
Fun as the "but think of the children!" argument is, it doesn't necessarily make your basic point more logical.
