14. Today the D.A.R.E. Program Is Held At A Higher Standard Than Other Programs
Even after decades of critics pointing fingers at D.A.R.E. and stating that it doesn’t work when it comes to keeping kids off drugs, the program is still held at a higher standard. In fact, more people believe in D.A.R.E. today than ever before.
Part of this is because D.A.R.E. has transitioned to “Keepin’ It Real,” which is the new D.A.R.E. program. However, D.A.R.E. is still a big part of the anti-drug campaign, and police officers, military, and other officials continue training in D.A.R.E.
