Shortly after an 18-year-old opened fire on children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last year, killing 19 students and two teachers, the New York Times published a lengthy front-page article on the killer’s background. One line in the Times’ report didn’t last long, before an editor deleted it from the article, without explanation. The sentence in question quoted one of the gunman’s co-workers at Wendy’s as saying:
“He would often talk about how much he despised his mother and grandmother, whom he told her did not let him smoke weed or do what he wanted.”
