D.A.R.E.

[Dogstarman]

Did you guys know they still have the D.A.R.E. program? I thought they disbanded this program due to the ineffectiveness of it.

Today I went to eat lunch and outside the restaurant DARE had a booth asking for money for the children. I had my cheech and chong shirt. Even though I don't use any illegal substances I told the dude to leave me alone and look at my shirt and kept walking. It was strange and I don't agree with the program at all.

For you guys that don't know DARE here is brief explanation.

D.A.R.E. IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION EDUCATION AND MUCH MORE!


This year millions of school children around the world will benefit from D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence.

D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in 75 percent of our nation’s school districts and in more than 52 countries around the world.

D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.

Teaching kids to just say no is ineffective and there are studies done that say DARE may even increase tobacco and alcohol use among kids.

Another thing that I disagree with is having a police officer teaching my children. I grew up in a Law Enforcement household and I even am in federal law enforcement. Seriously, I don't want any of those guys teaching my children. Anyway, DARE is stupid and I disagree with it, even though they are indoctrinating my children.

DARE persuaded me to become an alcoholic...like a good Christian.

I rock this kickass sweatband whenever I light a bowl in honor of D.A.R.E.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Two questions:

1. Why was he cop asking for donations? Isn't DARE taxpayer funded?

2. Did you ask him if his precinct tests their cops for drugs (pot, booze, steroids, etc?)

I remember being taken out of the classroom and scolded because I asked the D.A.R.E. officer about a girl asking me if she should have sex online, I was 10 at the time and genuinely curious about how to handle that situation. I figured if they're going to talk to us about drugs and violence, sex would probably fit in there too. They acted like I took a shit and held it up in front of everyone. So I never got an answer and was afraid to go to anybody about the subject after that because I didn't want to be punished again.

There also used to be one called G.R.E.A.T. I don't know what it stood for, but I wrote an essay and won a competition for it. I was supposed to read it in front of the whole school, but I ended up getting the flu.

its so strange. they legalized marijuana in Nevada and all the dispensaries are opening up in the shitty neighborhoods. None in Summerlin that I know of. Bizarre considering how pot is so awesome!

TS wants kids to get addicted to dangerous and illegal narcotics.

I remember both the DARE and GREAT programs.

DARE saved my life.

TS wants kids to get addicted to dangerous and illegal narcotics.

Then he can arrest them.

they were both pretty useless but it was a nice break from class.

We coppied the same system in the Philippines back in the 90s Members of the Pilipin National Police that were educated in the US would come to school and teach us about self esteem and why should we avoid and resist drugs.


They all laughed at me when I ask them how to use meth so I know what meth users would look like and what they do.


But I got a stupid answer something a long the lines "hey kid we teach to avoid drugs not how to do it why even ask that?"

Thats when I realized officer dingdong is a dumb fuck.

Dare officers are pricks

I don’t know it was a cop. It was two guys in t shirts and jeans. I assume those guys were cops because cops are responsible for dare.

 

[Dogstarman]

Then he can arrest them.

Actually I haven’t arrested anyone in years. I’m sick of law enforcement and wish I never entered this field. Without divulging to much I do some high level security guard work now. They call it law enforcement but we don’t really do shit, but baby sit high level areas and train. I want to retire, train jiu jitsu and be a hippy.

 

[SRN]

Why are you against DARE?

 

[Protectandserve]

We have like 4 cops assigned to DARE at my agency. There is zero competition for those spots. Its mostly people who can't hack it in patrol or are riding it out into retirement.
