School defends drunken driving hoax - CNN.com
On a Monday morning last month, highway patrol officers visited 20 classrooms at El Camino High School to announce some horrible news: Several students had been killed in car wrecks over the weekend.

Classmates wept. Some became hysterical.

A few hours and many tears later, though, the pain turned to fury when the teenagers learned that it was all a hoax, a scared-straight exercise designed by school officials to dramatize the consequences of drinking and driving.

Best quote: ""They were traumatized, but we wanted them to be traumatized," said guidance counselor Lori Tauber". Jerks. I assume someone will be fired.

    did they just pick kids who were out sick or playing hooky as their faux victims? in other words, did the 26 "dead" kids know they were about to be "deceased?"
