They should do this in WNY schools

As we start to schedule school presentations to educate teens about the dangers of drunk driving this prom season, our mission to stop this dangerous crime is heightened. Hopefully hundreds of students will hear Karen's story and see a PowerPoint presentation to hear how real people are impacted by this tragic crime.

There's a high school in New Mexico that's doing things a little differently. I think that bringing the courtroom into the classroom is a fantastic idea. This is something schools in our area should consider. I do think that this should be followed with a victim's story as well. This way students can see how the courts treat drunk drivers and then how real people's lives are impacted.

The more teenagers hear about the dangers of alcohol and how the combination of drinking and driving is so deadly the better.
