Your first thought was mine. Her statement that there was “no place” for violence after such a beating is without meaning.
I my day, a male principal would issue such a statement as the little animal was being remanded to police custody to stand trial as an adult. Perhaps the statement would come as metal detectors go up, or security increases and students are told they will be searched.
In this case, a woman issues it merely to indicate that there are screws missing in her head. If she returns to “work” at all, after this, even less is going to function correctly.
