Drug Prevention Education
It was interesting to get a bit more up to speed on the scene faced by kids entering middle and high school. Probably a good thing I wasn't going through my teen years today -- the availability of drugs was bad enough back those many years ago; today things sound even worse.
One thing that struck me, though, is the contemporary idea popular in some circles that drug education should consist of teaching kids how to "safely" do illegal drugs. Talk about an attitude born out of failure!
The flip side, of course, is that there are effective ways to do drug education that truly get results. In fact an old friend of mine has, over the last 20 years or so, delivered drug education lectures to something more than 500,000 people, mostly kids.
Info on what has become an international effort, is available on the Narconon site.
