Drug education program in schools to include focus on fentanyl: 'Just Say No was not enough'
Fox News
D.A.R.E., a drug education program for schools across America has updated its curriculum to include the dangers of harsh drugs, like fentanyl, amid the opioid crisis.
"My son passed away on Sept. 16, 2020, from fentanyl poisoning. He was 40 when he passed away, and he had been dealing with addiction and mental health for a number of years since he was a teenager," Smith said. Joy Addison joined Fox News in 2022 as a multimedia reporter in Houston.
Smith said her son’s drug addiction started in middle and high school even though he received D.A.R.E.’s police-led Drug Abuse Resistance Education. She believes the program needed an upgrade.
