WFJ conducted “Keeping Kids out of Prison” Seminars in two high schools and two middle schools in DeKalb County in one day. We went back the following week for a follow-up presentation. The kids really grasped the information and warnings offered. They remembered their 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights. This was our opportunity to “show” them how to safely exercise those rights by showing respect for all those in positions of authority. The theme we presented was “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. As a matter of fact, that’s advice that can help all of us. Let’s all begin living by that principle in 2020 and live a long and prosperous life.
