El Camino High School (Oceanside, California)
The school drew national media attention in June 2008 for staging a controversial fake car accident, telling students their classmates had died as part of an anti-drunk driving program called "Every 15 Minutes--Extreme". The hoax was orchestrated by counselor Lori Tauber. "I would rather see a couple people (disturbed), versus see a couple people dead," offers Tauber. However, the tactics have been criticized in the media, and by students, one of whom remarked, "You feel betrayed by your teachers and administrators, these people you trust,". At school assemblies, some students held up posters that read: "Death is real. Don't play with our emotions." The Chronicle Herald said "While their objective was laudable, school officials deliberately lied and, far worse, did so in an elaborate hoax.
