MADD Is Cruel!

Recently a group of police officers entered El Camino High School in Ocenside California and announced that several popular kids had been killed over the weekend by a drunk driver.  Most students wept, some became hysterical.  The problem?  This was all a cruel hoax.  Apparently the callous school administration adopted the MADD position that no scare tactic is over the top when drunk driving is involved.  The school counselor who dreamed up this violence defended the program by saying that it had the intended impact.  This augments the decades old theatre performance where our kids are trotted out of class to see two popular kids splayed across a wrecked car covered in blood.  Here, the students were understandably outraged.  If you are not outraged please let me know how you would feel if it were any other issue that the young adults were terrorized with: AIDS, domestic violence, negligent cell phone use, swimming without a life guard?
