At taxpayers expense, NYC schools are distributing a 16 page pamphlet entitled, “Take Charge, Take Care: Ten Tips for Safer Use” the goal of the program according to a statement by the NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene, the pamphlet is to help children “…who are injecting drugs reduce the harm associated with this type of drug until they are able to get into treatment and recover.”
On Monday, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the program claiming if people are shooting up anyway, we should teach them how to shoot up more safely.
Huh? Why is taxpayers money being wasted to teach junkies how to shoot up heroin more safely?
