I don't think anyone's suggested that. I suspect that "rite of passage" is an expression that a lot of even well-read people would get wrong, because "rite" is a relatively unusual word that's rarely used except in that specific expression. There probably are people who genuinely believe it has to do with their "rights", as with expressions like "right of way" or "right to arm bears".
