32. Supporters Of The D.A.R.E. Program Refused To See Its Flaws
Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, appointed by Donald Trump, thought that DARE was valid despite the various data that indicated its failure. In fact, Mr. Sessions was such a big fan that he talked about bringing DARE back in 2017.
Sessions stated about the program, “I believe that DARE was instrumental to our success… And I want to say thank you for that. Whenever I ask adults (..) about prevention, they always mention the DARE program. Your efforts work. Lives and futures are saved.”
