Cpl. Todd Myers, SRO at AJHS, spoke with the Social Studies classes today about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and American liberties contained therein. He also recounted "odd" laws that were on the books in Arkansas at one time such as not driving a cow through town after 1:00pm on Sundays. The students had lots of questions about their rights under the Amendments and if the "odd" laws were still in effect today.
