    In a survey, 70% of students reported having negative feelings towards their DARE officer (“Is the DARE Program Good For America’s Kids (K-12)?” 2).

    Secondly, the students never get to understand the realities of drugs while under the D.A.R.E. program’s wing. “We all saw a black lung and looked at a liver with cirrhosis, but the effects on your personal life were skipped over almost entirely.” (Malooly). Finally, the police officers that are involved in the D.A.R.E. program aren’t leading the students in the right direction against the usage of drugs. “The link between schools and drug police has become a sacred cow that leads to a false sense of security, despite clear evidence that DARE is a failure.”…
