A Feb. 18 article in Mother
Jones, Drug Mistreatment, examines the problem of teens without serious
drug problems being forced into drug treatment programs by schools, parents,
or the courts. Education researchers have raised concerns that removing
young people to the periphery of the educational community may multiply,
rather solve their problems, and that scarce treatment slots may be taken
away from those truly in need. Drug Mistreatment, by Jake Ginsky,
can be read online at http://www.motherjones.com/news_wire/rehab.html.
The Feb. 27 issue of the
Detroit News included a special report on the DARE program. "DARE
-- Failing Our Kids" -- examines the controversial program, its documented
failure, and discusses its popularity in the face of ineffectiveness and
alternatives. "DARE -- Failing Our Kids" can be found online at http://www.detnews.com/specialreports/2000/dare/.
These and other drug education
and youth issues are discussed in depth at http://www.cerd.org,
web site of the Center for Educational Research and Development.
