Columbus — Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine told an audience of educators July 26 that he would like to see age-appropriate instruction on drug addiction from kindergarten through high school, as part of efforts to counter the state’s heroin epidemic.
“If we’re serious about prevention, if we’re serious about education, if we’re serious about stopping kids from starting on drugs, you have to start in kindergarten,” DeWine said. “And you have to do something that’s age-appropriate every single year. So for 13 years, you have to be doing something.”
