Graduating seniors at a Bethesda high school are getting a great, first-hand, real-world, lesson in modern civics: 1) The media (played by Helen Thomas) is bought and paid for by powerful lobbyists (played by the Anti-Defamation League; and 2) The government (played by Walt Whitman High School) is likewise bought and paid for by powerful lobbyists.

But, I have a question for Rachel Maddow: Is it okay for the high school to discriminate against Helen Thomas?
