60-day trial. Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series
where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything
from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot
to hide.  D.A.R.E was started around the same time that the
“War on Drugs” started to sweep across the United States. Created
and run by police officers across the country, D.A.R.E’s goal was
to educate children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol,
particularly the legal danger. There was everything! The catchy
jingle, the mascot, and even a children’s choir. But, it was also
missing a few things, like any research-based methods and
practices. Turns out, that’s an important ingredient and as the
years have gone by studies have found that despite the cute mascot,
D.A.R.E failed in its mission to protect future generations from
drug addiction.  Connect with me:
