I'm amazed this passed IRB. Consider the analogy:

We presented students with an education protocol designed to make a blind subset of them fail tests. Then measured if they failed the test to see if they independently learned the true meaning of the information.

Under any sane IRB you would need consent of the students. This is failure on so many levels.
