If these school officials are going to treat DUI education this way, they're going to find out it's not only ineffective, but it will lead to an increase in drunk driving amongst students.

These kids will now have a measure of skepticism in them, something many high schoolers lack. It may also teach them to be especially wary of those with an agenda. The ends justify the means crowd is gaining ground every day. Joanne Jacobs' point about teaching them not to trust authority figures is actually a good thing.

"I wish to open my comments to this congressional hearing by expressing my deepest sympathy to the senators and representatives who were killed in this mornings terrorist attacks. However I would point out that their deaths underline the continued threat of terrorist attack." I suspect that the congressional response would be even harsher than the students and parents.
