Walker told the students
that he went to Perry Ele
mentary and graduated
from Perry High School. He
attended the University of
Georgia and graduated with
his law degree in “lust five
years."
The “talk” was about
community service. Walker
said though the state legis
lation only works in Atlanta
about three months, the job
and its duties don’t quit.
“I get requests daily from
my constituents," said
Walker, adding that often it
revolves around requests to
“help get someone into a
college."
Walker went on to dis
cuss the current school
shootings. He said, “More
and more we cannot treat
young people who do these
kinds of things as juveniles.
We have to treat them as
adults. The young mem in
Conyers is facing a life in
prisort for his actions."
Walker stated that for

million students across the
country attend school, and

not common. He continued
by saying these incidents
will change things for them.
Students will have to give
up some rights. There will
be searches: police will be
on campuses; and surveil
lance cameras will be placed
in schools to ensure safety.
He told the younger peo
ple that he believes that the
problem is not gun control,
though he doesn’t think
anyone has a need for a
sub-machine gun or an
uzzi. Walker stated that the
“break down in the family"
is what is at the root of the
problem. He added, “The
biggest influence in young
people’s lives is television,
not parents, church, and
school."
