DARE To Kill Families

<< < (2/2)

thepatriot:
Just curious but why is everybody on this site so goddam afraid or leery of the Police and law enforcement in general, what about the DARE program bothers you so much? Sometimes I think people will find anything to creat controversy over.

"OUr Public School System has the DARE program. When my children are old enough to be a part of it, will I be given a choice as to whether or not I let them, or is it a manditory thing?

My husband and I have nothing to hide, that's not the case, it's just that I don't subscribe to the values of that program or the power it has to rip apart families. I would rather my children didn't take part in it. So, do you know if we have a choice? Is there some sort of a form we have to sign?  

   I wonder, however, if it would affect relations with the other children if my kids were excluded. I don't want my children singled out or

used as examples to the other children.

 It's my understanding that DARE America does
include consent forms to be sent home to parents
but that alot of school districts don't bother
with them. Also to be considered is that if you're
 the parent who objects they may grill your kid,
or label you adversarial or call the social
workers on you.
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.

I am sorry but if a parent is irresponsible enough to be stoned around around their child or to have drugs where they are in reach of the child/teenager their ass deserves to be reported come on people what ever happened to being a responsible parent. If your ass wants to get stoned find them a friggin baby sitter. Is it really necessary to be stoned around your child. Or how about the parents and I know some that have their infant in a baby seat in a cloud of pot smoke on their way to the grocery store sorry but thats not healthy. Let alone the parent too stoned to drive with their kids in the car. Go ahead and flame me I don't want to hear the "But what about alcholhol and the drunk parent around their kid" The goes with out saying, if you want to medicate yourself fine just set and example for your kids. You can call this a conservitive attitude if some of you lefties wish, but for the love of god DARE as a threat....PALEEEEEZ get over it all ready



My favorite is the parents that get stoned with their kids....oh yeah thats real fucking healthy those are the kids that usually call their parents by their first names. As far as dare being a dangerous part of the drug war that is reaching way too far , find something else....good god

  I could not agree with you more. I was starting to wonder if there were any sane people posting here.

You are required to sign a consent form for your child to participate in the DARE program. Most people want their kid to learn to not use drugs and find out about all the harmful effects of drug use. If you are smoking dope around them and acting like it is a regular cigarette it is likely they will learn what it is. Now that is sad. So many people talk about all the abuse they endured in the program and don't think twice about what they are doing to their kids NOW.

I choose not to have my children included in the DARE program.  I do not use drugs.  My husband does not do drugs.  We do not allow illegal drugs in our home.  We do, however, feel that we can and WILL teach our children to make healthy choices.  We will tell them the about the dangers of drug abuse, and we will keep the family unit alive. WITH OUT POLICE INTERVENTION.  Not everyone who dislikes the DARE idealogy is doing drugs. Thank your for your response.
