We're still 20 days out from our annual countdown to LawDay, but wanted to share this story that goes FAR BEYOND the example we give kids when talking about this particular prank.
Trying to prevent split-second decisions from derailing lives is the core of #REALReady
apnews.com/article/teac...
...as well as our many other partners and the local outlets working to get out the word about our work.
If you see the 'memes' we've shared and will reshare for #REALReady, they may seem goofy, but the dangers are very real (no pun intended). Please, help spread the word!
We use these proclamations in our efforts to connect with parents and school leaders, to spread the word about #REALReady, our #AccidentalCrimePrevention conversation.
If you haven't yet, we encourage you to visit to learn how to lead one of these talks

May 1 is coming... and so are our #LAWDAY Memes.
Remember kids: The law says what it says, not what we think it should say!

Sheriff Chitwood said in a post announcing the arrest. “He had written a list of names and targets. He says it was all a joke.”
Book #REALReady for your students now, so they learn "I was just joking" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card!
So, in a practical sense, this isn't something we're worried about kids doing.... BUT... reading the story, there's definitely a lesson of "Is it worth the risk that some of what you're about to do MIGHT be a crime?" in here, so... #REALReady 😅
Ok, but like, also... don't be afraid to email kmangano@projectrealnv.org if you want to set up a #REALReady talk in SouthernNV, sbaldwin@projectrealnv.org if you want to set 1 up in NorthernNV, or call us if you'd be ok with our Executive Director zooming into a rural school!💙

No need to wait for us though; lead your own talk w/ our #ReturnReady guide here:
Today we're reaching out to 5th grade teachers about #REALReady visits on/around #NationalConstitutionDay.
A big talking point in those: SelfDefense = Proving it VS cost of defending against charges from it.
Cardi's situation = new talking point.
During #REALReady kids often ask if hands/feet are 'legally' deadly weapons or if that's just a TV thing.
Well... ""This is considered an assault with a deadly weapon because of the amount of suspects we are investigating," said OC Sgt. Frank Gonzalez.
Someone should do something about tha... oh, wait....
