Scientology-Based Drug Program Dropped From California Schools

[CORRECTED] Here is a story from earlier this year which has surfaced again. In February of this year, California state school superintendent Jack O'Connell urged all California schools to drop the Narconon Drug Prevention & Education, a free program with ties to the Church of Scientology. A report posted Tuesday by Pressbox.co.uk from the February 23, 2005 San Francisco Chronicle says that a review of the program revealed that it contained inaccurate and unscientific information based on beliefs of the Church of Scientology. San Francisco and Los Angeles schools earlier dropped the program. The state's report on the Narconon program is available online.
