California is a very large state. I’m not an expert but I think it’s like, one of the biggest states. 🙂 You would think the smart folks at Boing Boing and the London Telegraph would know that. Instead, Boing Boing, referencing a hoax by law enforcement at “El Camino High School in California,” linked to this story from the Telegraph. This made me waste a whole 4 minutes of my lunch hour tracking down the original story, which comes out of Oceanside, CA and not San Juan Unified.
This is the second time I have called out Boing Boing, the venerable interweb-meme-link-zeitgeist site, for their odd choice of sources. Come on, people. In this case, they cite a referring blog who was using the London Telegraph as their source for a story about a school in California.
Students at Sacramento’s El Camino did really dodge one by not being the victims of this hoax, by the way. I’d like to give a Norcal-to-Socal RIGHT AWN to the students who reacted to the hoax with handmade posters declaring “Death is real. Don’t play with our emotions.” Right AWN kids.

Fire the teachers, fire the guidance counselors, revoke their credentials.
I guess kids are going to learn that cops, by their very nature, are liars; might as well be now.

KTXL had this posted on their website last week. You could have tracked it through there instead of spending so long on the Interwebs ;P
