Default D.A.R.E to be Stupid

D.A.R.E falls for satirical article and published it on their website as fact.

Good god this are people who educate our kids. No matter your stance on the issue at least use FACTS

Quote:
"Children are being addicted to marijuana. I knew this day would come, when a liberal president allowed a state to legally sell Marijuana Flintstone Vitamins to children."

"Marijuana. It is one of the most dangerous drugs on Earth," the author concludes ominously. "For every one joint of marijuana, four teenagers become burdened with pregnancy."
Interesting fact in this article that the D.A.R.E program has little to no effect on kids anyways. It just seems to be a waste of government money.

The organization's heyday was in the 1980s and 1990s, when the anti-drug movement was at its most intense. D.A.R.E. focused a lot of its energies on discouraging drug use by kids, but multiple studies have found that the program does "little or nothing to combat drug use," according to Scientific American. Kids enrolled in the program were just as likely to use drugs as those who weren't, researchers found in 2009.
