I can see how it is wrong, but I don't think its huge enough to make national news...

I'm sure she saw it as a competition strategy: tell people it is an option, and it is much more likely that the squeamish ones won't think twice about objecting.. Tell them they have to, and get more points.

Not that this should be condoned at all, it is messed up.. But when competition is so high, people do stupid things. Similar things happen everywhere theres competition, most just aren't made national. I was part of a similar experience in high school for football when i was told that anyone (of age 18 or older) who did not give blood would not play... (money was donated to the program for % of eligable players who contributed) Sucks, but it happens.. Just don't think it is worth making national.

To prevent this, I think that so much emphasis should not be put on #s or %s of donations... People are gonna try to win, and to me it is pretty obvious that something like this would happen..

My 2 cents..
