"Small Metallic Ball Found In My High Schooler’s Jacket Pocket, Has A Waxy-Ish White Piece Stuck Inside"

"That is beyond doubt a broken brass headed percussion mallet for bells/glockenspiel. The waxy part is the fiberglass handle of what's called a 'two-step' mallet, where the handle is fiberglass with a rubber coating on the end.
Source: percussionist and band director."
What's the point here?
Also, wtf is this thing about censoring? Another idiotic linguistic failure by a generation of illiterates is my guess.
