The Dekalb Marine Corps Institute is scheduled to open in August in Dekalb county Georgia. This will be a one of a kind public military style high school. The school will be run by the Marine Corps, and its purpose will be to instill discipline into high school students who attend. This school will be one in a network of similar schools which will open across the country.
There is much opposition to the opening of the school, but I for one support it. I think that anything that instills discipline in our young people will be a great benefit to the future of our nation. In my opinion a lack of discipline is the major contributor to problems that many of our young people are encountering. The discipline of this type of environment can only help prepare them for the harshness of life in the real world. I speak as one who is a product of a military academy and I feel that this discipline has benefitted me in many ways. I have seen the pride that many of the graduates of the youth challenge academy have exhibited here in my hometown. Many of the have come in to order youth challenge rings when they have graduated. There should be a design set aside for graduates of this school to purchase some type of USMC Ring.
