From the New York Post: “Son defends parents caught in college admissions scandal while smoking blunt.” Says the son: “I believe everyone has a right to go to college, man.” But it’s his sister who pursued higher education.
While he pursued “higher” education? Now I’m thinking like the Post.
But I’d revise the headline: “Blunt-smoking son defends parents caught in college admissions scandal.” Or more Post-like: “Higher education? Son offers ‘blunt’ defense of parents caught in college admissions scandal.”

Now you're not trying to diagram a headline?
I haven’t diagrammed since high school. The funny thing though — a diagram would straighten out the syntax of the original headline by putting “while smoking blunt” in the right place, with “defends.”
