DD has went through the DARE program and also a sex ed program. Personally, I don't have a problem with it, but only because we've discussed these things AT HOME too (where it SHOULD be discussed). DS #1 didn't have DARE but some sort of program through his school last year (2nd grade) and came home to tell me that it sparked some discussion, like how a classmate of his has already tried cigarettes and beer (from an older brother). Hmmmmm....
