It's good to lie to your kids - Brickbats - Brief Article

Reason, April, 2003 by Charles Oliver

It's good to lie to your kids, according to John Walters, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that Walters told Louisiana parents they should lie to their children about their own past drug use in order to discourage them from such activities. "They're your kids, not your confessors," he said.
