(BARBERTON) - A group of Barberton High School teens will receive extra credit for being pepper sprayed in the face as part of a criminal science technology class. The school system said the student's parents had to sign waivers, and a former police chief administered the pepper spray.
The students lined up outside Monday and were sprayed in the face one-by-one; some doubled over and started screaming, and at least one ended up on the ground. The video has been featured on the Today show, and viewed over 150,000 times.
