Big Brother Manipulates Students

Preventing drunk driving accidents is important, but is it worth it to blatantly lie to a student body? The administration at the University of South Carolina apparently thought so, creating a mass hysteria in the process.

At a high school in Oceanside, Calif., highway patrol officers and faculty members announced that an unbelievable 26 students out of the 3,100 who attend the school, had died in drunken driving-related accidents over the weekend.

The truly shocking part about this horrific story: it wasn't even true. The school decided to scare the students to keep them from drinking and driving.

As the story spread across the school, students were crying hysterically in the halls: they were truly and understandably traumatized by the "accidents."
