Topic: School Principals

Barbie Rivera alleges that pharmaceutical companies and Florida International University offered financial incentives to school principals for enrolling children in drug studies. She claims she was offered $100 for student contact info, $500 for mental health checklists, and $5,000 for every child successfully placed on a new medication like Intuniv. The hosts express outrage at the potential for widespread corruption in the education system.

A humorous listener letter claims that children at an elementary school were caught "de-douching" and "knighting" their classmates in exchange for milk money. The school principal reportedly expressed concern over the playground activity. The hosts speculate whether the story is a creative joke by the listener's wife or a genuine instance of the show's culture spreading to a younger generation.

A local news story about a student left behind at a "Waterworld" water park during a school field trip features a principal using the term "body count" to describe the attendance check. The hosts find the use of military-style terminology in a school setting to be a notable cultural shift. The student eventually had to call his mother for a ride after the buses departed without him.
