Interesting perspectives from people who make decisions for the next generations. I've not seen the movie, nor does it sound like I would have the stomach to. However, sometimes it's the least expected person who has the courage to stand up and take a stand. What has the school board and the provincial government done lately to help the war on drugs in schools? As I recall, there wasn't a poster in sight regarding the dangers of drugs, to take down at my kid's high school. Look at this young guy's intent. It's not too late for Surrey's next generation and Marko is trying to do something about it. As Penny Priddy says, she "applauds anyone who cares about the health and safety of future generations." Check out the former students down at the Front Room in Whalley and see how the school board and provincial government's ideas have worked for us so far.
