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. Clifford A.
