High school conducts controversial student death simulation

By Siara Schwartzlow, Editor

On Wednesday of last week, Brodhead High School conducted a simulation that is garnering much attention. During morning announcements, students and teachers announced that several students had died as a result of motor vehicle crashes.

The announcements began with two students asking for a moment of silence to recognize and remember several students who had recently passed away in car accidents.
