Brickbat: Bad Day

The article uses restrained, factual language ('charged with assault,' 'allegedly') that avoids inflammatory framing while reporting a serious incident. The piece centers the alleged victim and the legal charge without attributing motive or moral judgment to the teacher. However, the headline 'Bad Day' and minimal context lean slightly toward the libertarian skepticism of institutional authority characteristic of Reason, though the framing remains relatively measured compared to harder ideological positions.
