Anyone else ever seen that movie called "The Wave" about the high school teacher who sets out to show his students the unfairness of segregation and winds up instead creating a divisive naziesque cult--complete with straight arm salute--in his school? Seriously disturbing.
When I first saw this topic, I assumed it was a joke from April first, and I just missed the initial post or something. That it's true...well it saddens me deeply and leaves me feeling deeply frustrated.
I was part of the geek crowd in middle school, and then part of the mainstream in high school. So I know both sides of the coin, and I can easily imagine thousands of simultaneously realizable hells coming out of this program, and not a single utopia. This kind of a program pushes false positives, with no real indication that you wouldn't get enough false negatives to make the process not just oppressive, but useless into the bargain!
