TELL KIDS THE TRUTH

Why are we letting unqualified police officers teach our children about drugs?

We should be encouraging our doctors instead to educate our young people 
about drugs.

The current DARE program does not teach the whole truth about drugs and 
responsible use.

Instead of giving children the idea all drug use is wrong, we should also 
tell them the truth about the impact of certain drugs, so they can make 
informed choices if they ever decide to try one.
