From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 12, 1989:

A controversial drug education program was scheduled for discussion this week by Lawrence school board members. The “Skills for Living” curriculum, which was possibly going to be tried at South Junior High School, had been the focus of scrutiny by local parents. Part of a larger curriculum called Quest, the program had raised objections from parents, some of whom were members of a local Christian group. Several Lawrence parents were planning to discuss their concerns with board members. One objection, according to local businessman and parent David Fonseca, was that there was so much emphasis on other elements that the program didn’t really appear to be a drug education program. “If you’re gong to make this a drug and alcohol education program, then the emphasis should be there,” Fonseca said. Four of the seven board members contacted said they wanted to try the curriculum, and two of them, Mary Loveland and Alice Fowler, had attended a recent seminar in Lincoln, Nebraska, where they had heard an extensive overview of Quest. The other two supporters on the board had counseling backgrounds and said they believed the program was valid.
