Interesting question. My wife and I were once confronted by a rather angry neighbor that wanted to know why my wife and I would not let our children play with theirs and why we had started a whisper campaign to keep other LDS children in the neighborhood from playing with their children.
We invited them into our home and explained that on Sunday (the day they came) that we observe the Sabbath and spend time with our children. It was not that they could not play with other children but that this was a time for our family. I told them that I encourage other families to do the same and that this was not secret or whisper campaign. I also encouraged them to spend Sunday as a special time with their children.
I have no idea how this got twisted but I have no doubt but that such mistakes are not uncommon. I am just grateful that my neighbor decided to get to the bottom of the problem.
