Teachers defend DUI hoax
I posted earlier this month about a DUI scared-straight hoax pulled by a school in California, where highway patrol officers came to classes and pretended that students were dead from alcohol related car crashes. The teachers from the school now are defending their actions to the media.
"They were traumatized, but we wanted them to be traumatized," said guidance counselor Lori Tauber, who helped organize the shocking exercise and got dozens of students to participate. "That's how they get the message."
The school superintendent "said he was glad that students seemed to have gotten the message."
They wanted them to be traumatized. The guidance counselor organized the event. Has no-one filed a lawsuit against this school district or MADD yet?
