In response to the GSA debate...
One
night a carload of teenagers died in a DUI accident. Everyone was upset and after an alumni noted
the lack of a Teens Against Drunk Driving (TADD) chapter at the schools, the
superintendant demanded that all schools allow for a TADD in school.
Most
schools agreed with it, except for the one in the town where the big employer
was Budweiser. The brew master had
heard how in some places with TADD, the schools had banned any alcohol at Safe
Grad, had run campaigns toughing drinking laws, and refused advertising by the
company in the school. The brew master
called the local principal and reminded him that the football team, the score
board, and the stadium were all paid for by his company, whose policy of ‘Please
use our products responsibly’ should be enough.
The
principal mentioned this at a staff meeting so of course, within 24 hours,
there was an angry protest outside the school; one side yelling “Sell-out! You
want our kids to die on your booze!”, the other yelling “Why don’t we just do
that ‘responsibly’ thing?” The
superintendant was called and both sides flipped her car and a news van.
The
superintendant’s daughter, who had been in TADD before but dropped out due to
boredom, got in a car with the principal’s son and drove around, smoking
marijuana. Another car driven by the brew master’s son ran a stopsign, because
he was texting, and totalled both
cars.
In the
aftermath, a foreign company bought the company, fired all the employees
because they couldn’t read or write, and everyone moved away, so the schools
were the safest albeit abandoned buildings in town.
