Default Re: Join this club, get extra credit. (a question of ethics)

Junior year of (catholic) high school, our morality teacher offered her students 10 extra credit points to stay after school and go to an anti-abortion rally. This made the news that night.

There's a nice quote in the story - "The fact that this was a class on morality begs the question: 'Is it moral behavior to intimidate people coming in for health services?' "

My favorite part of this story concerns how this was reported in the paper the next day. In the local paper, the story made the front page. There was a picture of four girls at the rally wearing their school uniforms - but you couldn't see their faces in the picture - only their skirts and legs.
