17. D.A.R.E. Doesn’t Spend Much Time Discussing What The Critics Have To Say
Officials who support and teach D.A.R.E. have heard more criticisms throughout the last few decades than they want to admit. In fact, they don’t usually defend themselves or the program when it comes to critics.
Instead of defending the program, D.A.R.E. officials state that the critics are wrong, and the information is false. They believe the studies are poorly done, and people need to realize that while the program isn’t perfect, it does help keep some children away from drugs.
