Tricking Students Into Thinking That 4 Of Their Classmates Were Killed In A Drunk Driving Accident Is A Pretty Extreme Safe Driving Drill

NBC 15- Some students say an announcement telling students some of their classmates were dead as part of a safe driving drill was inappropriate. During the morning announcements students were told the name of four students who had supposedly died in a car accident that morning. Several minutes later, a second announcement told students their classmates were not dead and that, instead, the announcement was part of a simulation drill.

The Brodhead High School principle says the drill was put on by the student council as part of a year-long campaign on safe driving. Throughout the day more announcements told students more of their classmates were dying in car accidents. The students that were “dying” as part of the drill were aware ahead of time but were not allowed to use their phones to notify other classmates that they were okay. “A lot of our fellow friends and students actually started crying because they thought these people were actually dead and so I think a lot of them actually called their parents in school too,” Brodhead High School student Madison Trombley says.

Jesus Christ, the people at Brodhead High School do NOT fuck around. I cannot fathom being told one of my friends was dead and then it was followed up with a “JK, don’t drink and drive!” message during homeroom. Shit is so damn heartless. But you know what? I guarantee a few of those kids will be tipsy over the next month and think about driving home before remembering that awful feeling in their stomachs and either sleep it off or find another way home. So while getting scared straight like this seems completely fucked, it’ll probably work. I call that the J. Walter Weatherman Theory.

I guess other acceptable methods would be to put every high schooler in a car where the driver is blacked out drunk. Or you could show some EXTREMELY graphic pictures from drunk driving accidents that would make everyone throw up and have nightmares. Or you could go with my slogan that about drunk driving that is something along the lines of “Only dickheads and assholes drive drunk. Every time they do that, there is a chance they will kill themselves, or even worse, some innocent person. Fuck those people. Get a designated driver or a cab instead of being a garbage person drunk driver.” Whatever works to stop people from driving drunk. And that’s all I have to say about that.
