This is relevant to PG's essay about lies told to children. It's an example.

True. And they went further:

"They were traumatized, but we wanted them to be traumatized," said guidance counselor.

Because if people really had died they'd all be, erm, traumatized?

This seems a clear declaration of intent to hurt people for their own good. School is not your friend.

When it comes to sensitive issues like drinking, smoking, and other drug use, self-righteous supper-nannies feel free to throw truth and manners out the window.

Shame on all the students who accepted the administration's explanation for their callous action.
