The game is called “Cross the Line” and many outraged parents believe that it does just that.
A middle school in Marinette, Wisconsin got a group of 5th-8th
graders together and organized a really fun game that asked students to
step forward to answer “yes” to a series of highly personal questions.
Questions like…
Do your parents drink?
Do you cut yourself?
Has anyone in your family been to jail?
Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
Do you or your parents do drugs?
Unbelievably, school administrators believed that this “game” would
help the kids to be better and kinder friends. “The intent of this
activity was to build stronger, more respectful relationships among
students,” said Principal Shawn Limberg. The “game” was part of an
anti-bullying program.
Of course, Limberg also said the “game” was completely voluntary, an
assertion that was disputed by one young girl who told her mother she’d
have to go to in-school suspension if she didn’t participate.
Several parents voiced their concerns and had them brushed off. Amanda Fifarek, mother of a 7th grade student, told FOX 11,
“They basically told us that all the students were lying…all the
students got together and planned it out and if they weren’t lying, it
was all misperceptions. They didn’t specifically say do your parents do
drugs.” MORE
