This'll go viral in minutes. Stoneman Douglas drama students singing song they wrote for Town Hall.

They sang this at the very end of the town hall, for anyone who didn't see it. Scroll down to see video. This will go viral so fast. These kids are amazing. So impressive in every way. It won't let me access a direct link to the video. If someone knows how to do that, please post in a reply.

because the address given in another thread was familiar to me from a relative who lives in Sunrise FL. Looking to see where exactly Parkland is I found this:


According to a 2008 estimate, the median income for a household in the city was $277,072, and the estimated median house value was $973,176.[10] Males had a median income of $103,942 versus $81,425 for females. The per capita income for the city was $41,896. About 2.0% of families and .4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.2% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.

This kids are impressive and I bet there's plenty of enrichment (no pun intended) in their school. Would that all our kids went to a school like this.

and have access to excellent education. The ones who have been speaking out the most were almost all in that AP government class that Emma Gonzalez refers to.

CNN owns the copyright in the broadcast.

If they want to use the song to raise money, the writers and performers will need to enforce the copyright.
