DARE to Say No

Max Felker-Kantor's book offers a comprehensive history of DARE, the influential drug education program that emerged in the 1980s and spread nationwide. While initially praised and widely adopted in schools, the program's deeper implications reveal how it connected drug prevention efforts with increased policing, emphasizing individual responsibility over broader social factors. This book explores the complex legacy of DARE and its role in shaping the War on Drugs within American education and social policy.
