Line 1: − '''Drug education''' has been the misguided effort in [[public schools]] to deter students from drug use by teaching students about drugs. As a result, illegal drug use by students in 8th through 12th grades has skyrocketed to a shocking 77%.<ref>http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20081207/NEWS08/812070305/1002</ref> The failure of drug education in schools is analogous to the failure of [[sex education]].+ − − == History == − − The [[No Child Left Behind]] Act of 2001 requires schools to impose drug education, or else lose their [[federal funding]]. − − This mandate began with the Drug-Free − Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c101:H.R.3614.ENR:</ref> It expanded with the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1994, which was folded into the 6th reauthorization of ESEA.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c103:H.R.6:</ref> − − In 2001 Congress passed No Child Left Behind -- the 7th reauthorization of ESEA. Once again, a revised Drug-Free Schools provision was included within the larger bill.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.1:</ref> − − ESEA/NCLB was supposed to be reauthorized in 2006, but Republicans were unable to produce a final bill that year. After [[Democrat]]s took over Congress, they chose not to negotiate with Bush over education. Instead they simply waited for a Democrat president. − − == New Jersey == − − In December 2008, an official report shows about 30% of [[public schools]] failing the No Child Left Behind academic standards, and over 400 schools repeatedly so.<ref>http://www.nj.gov/education/news/2008/1219ayp.htm</ref> − − == References == − − <references/> − − == See also == − − *[http://www.eagleforum.org/psr/2000/july00/psrjuly2000.html Eagle Forum analysis] − *[http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/drug_ed/index.shtml Eagle Forum analysis] − [[Category:education]]
