Look what you two did!!
I blanched at this as this is the name of one of my relatives.

As for this: "NOBODY thought to question or hesitate?", I'm sure that, in that moment, plenty of the blindfolded teens , experienced plenty of hesitation, tentativeness & emotions that gave them reason for pause.

As for why they agreed to participate, the reality is that assertiveness is a skill that does not come easily for some people.

Also, in the context of how it all went down, if there is a gym full of people egging you on, it would be extremely difficult to say "no" and to refuse to participate in the activity. I would say that there was a lot of social pressure to "fit in" in that moment and go along with what was requested.....

The error in judgement rests with the parents and school administration.

Same here!!
Which makes me go hmmmmm since you also don't live too far from me.
Maybe we're related and don't even know it!

Haha it wouldn't be the first time I realized I knew someone off GC IRL. As much as I talk about my relatives, I think it's best if you stay a stranger before you bust me out over Easter dinner. :o

And just when I thought I had forgotten about this, pshsx1 bumps the thread. LOL.

I have to ask: Were the parents and kids using tongue? Barf.
