Libertarians are typically the loudest opponents of programs designed to educate school children about drugs.Nonsense. We are, however, generally the loudest opponents of any "program" that is to be funded via taxation.
I might add that there is also a conflict of interest issue, when the same people who are running the WOD and the FDA are also sponsoring the propaganda intended to convince the general public that unapproved and/or unregulated drugs are an unmitigated evil. Refer to my previous comments regarding the folly of propaganda.

1. "I suppose you could say that it isn't, given that even while unsuccessfully pursueing the WOD, we do attempt to 'educate' our children about the dangers of drug use." -- SJC_Libertarian

So who is this "we" you referred to? The LP? How much have they spent on programs educating kids against drugs?
