I AM A JEHOVAHS WITNESS IS IT OKAY FOR ME TO WITNESS TO OTHER KIDS IN MY CLASS.

Editor's Note:
You must follow the rules that your school and district set for this. The U.S. Supreme Court, through their rulings in many related cases, has given schools the ability to restrict certain rights of children (like freedom of speech or search and seizure)to preserve a safe and productive learning environment.
