Read the comments on the article I linked to. One is from a woman paralyzed as a teenager by a drunk driver, in an accident which also killed her boyfriend. Another is from a mother whose teenage son was killed by a drunk driver. THEY wholeheartedly approve of this. The “purpose” of school, quite frankly, should be whatever parents think it should be, and in this case the program had the overwhelming support of parents (only one parent was willing to speak against it, and she wouldn’t give her name, suggesting that she doesn’t have much company).
I don’t care who approved of it.
I find it somewhat surreal that someone with the ID of “Government Shrinker” is ok with the government messing with children’s minds, lying to them, and making them cry in mental anguish.
Because it is not ok. Not even for a “good reason”.
Not for any reason.
Period.
It is not their job to psychologically dismantle individuals. Even if some of the parents approved, it is not the job of the police or of the teachers.
