D.A.R.E. UNDER HEAT IN THE US

Did anyone tell these D.A.R.E. crusaders that D.A.R.E. has been 
officially barred from receiving United States government funds 
because there is no proof that it works?

In fact, the research shows that D.A.R.E. students may be more likely 
to use drugs than non-D.A.R.E. students.

D.A.R.E. is like apple pie - it is very popular, but there is no 
proof that either apple pie or D.A.R.E. stops kids from using drugs.
