Inspired by Fortnightly Topic Challenge #41 : Short and Sweet, this puzzle suddenly appeared in my head:
"When American prefer to bring milk rather than water they will be called _____(5)."
The intended answer is close to students and artists, and also the reason why this puzzle inspired by not an entry of Fortnightly Topic Challenge #41 : Short and Sweet
Note: This puzzle is not related to Short, but not sweet

babies
Because if the children take more milk to the school the family will need more milk. So the Milkman has to come way more often to the families while both the children (school) and the father (work) are away. Which in the end results in many more born babies. And with the title babies are short and shouldn´t be sweet (but they are).

They
scowl
Did you know that
Milk comes from cows
?
Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover
Water is H2O.
From there
Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.
Hence the answer:
scowl
And
A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).

The milk contains calcium (good for bones) in a ionbinding -> making a salt

Guns versus butter model. More milk is more butter so less guns (less school shootings).

The answer is probably 5 letters long, since there's a "(5)" at the end of the clue.

They
scowl
Did you know that
Milk comes from cows
?
Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover
Water is H2O.
From there
Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.
Hence the answer:
scowl
And
A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).

+1 This is the best answer so far! the solution has the same approach with your answer, but you still miss the "American" part. And also I've updated my question to avoid "too broad" answer

Maybe it's
Butter
because (Thanks to @Jannis)
Guns versus butter model. More milk is more butter so less guns (less school shootings).

The answer is probably 5 letters long, since there's a "(5)" at the end of the clue.
