This episode's ethics challenge:
Last year, the inaugural "Dash for Cash" event at a junior hockey game in Sioux Falls featured 10 local teachers scrambling on their hands and knees on a rug at center ice, scooping up $5,000 in donated $1 bills and stuffing them into their shirts and pockets. The promotion encouraged teachers to collect as much money as they could to help fund their classroom projects.
Video of the teachers jostling to grab dollar bills quickly sparked outrage nationwide. Some critics said the stunt turned schoolteachers' chronic funding shortages into a public spectacle. Others compared it to "Squid Game," the South Korean TV series about desperate people who compete in deadly children's games to win money.
The organizers apologized.
In an increasingly voyeuristic society, how do we weigh using spectacle in pursuit of noble causes against the loss of personal dignity?
