I agree with your assessment of the editing of this - and I agree with Malkin's premise - and my child is in public school.
Yet I suspect this same school administration rigidly enforces "zero tolerance" policies regarding drugs and "weapons" to the point where an honor student using a pen knife to clean violin strings would be expelled, smeared, and referred to the police. Liberalism is rot. They wallow in orgiastic pleasure when they make and ruthlessly enforce asinine rules against the law abiding, but consistently refuse to use appropriate discipline and penalties against the real thugs and criminals.
Parents who let this happen to their daughter while under their supervision would be in jail, and probably never see their children again. These school employees just get to shrug ... and the chance of real consequences for the perps - hah!
