After months of criticism, the people who head the nationwide DARE program have admitted their program is a failure. Officials of the program, whose acronym stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, said they are coming up with a revamped program - one they have been working on for two years. This raises several question, not the least of which is why DARE's leaders strongly defended it against recent criticisms when they apparently knew at least some of the complaints were true. For two years they have been working quietly on changes based on evidence that DARE wasn't working, yet they were happy to continue accepting taxpayer money from school districts. Not only that, they often impugned the motives of their critics, attacking them as hiding an agenda to legalize drugs. Recently, studies by the National Academy of Sciences and the surgeon general have shown the program to be flawed. Now the program's critics have gained a good measure of credibility. - - The Deseret News, Salt Lake City - --- MAP posted-by: Beth [end] -- Best Wishes Just as abortion has become the answer to inconvenient life at its beginning, euthanasia is becoming the answer to inconvenient life at its ending. -Paul Craig Roberts <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
