Imagine you're called into a school assembly a few days before high school graduation and told that several of your beloved classmates were killed in a drunken driving auto crash. Terrible, right? Young lights ripped from a community.
Then imagibe the teachers involved in said assembly -- who had even brought in the cops to make it look legit -- told you it was all fake; it was just an attempt to scare you sober as graduation parties near.
Some students later held signs saying, "Death is real -- don't play with our emotions." While still others said the emotional shock was worth it if the event saved even one life.
I keep thinking about the poor kid sitting in the assembly who doesn't drink at all and just found out his friends "died." It seems there has to be a better way to send this message, but of course I don't know what it is.
If these were your kids -- what would you think: Going to far? Or worth it if one life is saved?
