Cruel or clever?

We did something as a yearly exercise for SADD. The "dead" students would be dressed all in black with a sign. They would be silent for the entire day. Students took exams and went to class, but teachers knew not to ask them any questions. We also put a wreck on the front lawn of the school saying Don't Drink and Drive. One year they were able to get the car that 4 students had been in when they were in a DDA. 2 people were killed and one paralyzed.

I don't know how I feel about this exercise the officials did. I wonder if the school is having real problems with underage drinking and they felt they had to do something dramatic.

the quote that got me:

"Yes, they were traumatized, but we wanted them to be traumatized."

I just don't think ANYTHING justifies this - especially after the whole MySpace hoax thing with an adult doing it.

What's next - to cut down on premarital sex, they pose as Planned Parenthood employees and tell everyone they're pregnant and have AIDS?
