DOES DARE PREVENT YOUTH DRUG ABUSE?

The Detroit News has done a commendable job exposing the failure of and
money wasted on the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program ("DARE
doesn't work," Feb. 27). I hope The News does as good a job investigating
the other failed educational experiments used in our schools, such as whole
language, invented spelling, cooperative and student centered learning, and
environmental education.
