EDITORIAL: End inappropriate school activitiesTaichung Municipal Fengyuan High School has come under fire for a live simulation staged for its Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism course, in which students were asked to divide into groups and engage in combat armed with gel blasters. While gel blasters are touted as safe, nontoxic and biodegradable, they do cause pain. In the video, students are seen rubbing their wounds, while one lifts his shirt to display a rash on his back. The students being “executed” in the video were wearing regular school clothes without any protective gear. More people need to speak out about these types of ridiculous school activities so that they can be consigned to the past.
