US CU: 6o1unm+J'he Dire Consequences of D0 <br />keyboard." <br />O <br />Despite their public politeness, 1 suspect Sheriff Epp and Chief Beckner <br />have figured all this out and no longer wish to sponsor a program that <br />spawns young drug addicts. <br />Unfortunately, both men have suggested some other program might <br />replace DARE. They should think about the lack of success <br />world-renowned psychologists have had in finding a way to introduce the <br />subject of drugs without it backfiring. <br />In school, students are supposed to learn. 'Peach them math, they'll use <br />math. Teach them reading, they will read. Teach them about drugs, they <br />will toke up. <br />We ought to celebrate the local dumping of DARE. Then take the <br />opportunity to urge the school district and local law enforcement to reject <br />drug education in schools. Let individual guardians of children figure out <br />the complex issue of adolescent drug abuse on an individual basis. <br />Here's a proposition for the Boulder Police Department, Sheriff Epp and <br />the Boulder Valley School District: Dare to have no drug intervention <br />program at all. Let's call it DIRE -Drug Intervention Resistance Endeavor. <br />The goal will be zero tolerance for drug education in public schools. <br />The results will be astounding. Fewer children will use drugs, more <br />classroom time will be spent on legitimate education, and police will be <br />able to focus on crime. <br />Checked -by: Don Beck <br />-- <br />Address Your EmailSend Me This Article <br />US TX: Inmates Go To School To Warn Students Fri, 4 Dec <br />PreVlouS1 29 lines) <br />About Drinkine, Drugs 199s <br />Go Back <br />Nex— t US CO: DARE Losing Out In Metro Area Fri, 4 Dec <br />1998, 12:7h ea <br />8 of 9 ioiooioa a.na DTR <br />
