We teach reading so students will read. Yet we want to teach drugs, so students will shun them. It doesn't make sense. Boulder police should be commended for their light approach to drug education. Now let's encourage them to go all the way and kill it completely.
Drugs are a problem, for sure.
But it's not a dilemma our schools can solve. When police finally take the drug class from schools, they should go another step and remove themselves. Cops belong in classrooms no more than drugs do. Our kids need to learn that police aren't always their friends. Unless you're in trouble, or know someone who is, you should have precious little contact with on duty officers of any kind.
