Yes, it's a good idea. If it will reach many young ones, I don't know.
What stymies me is, what will it take from us to start changing the environment for our kids? Our school districts need to stop being cowed by the foolish of politics that leave children in danger.
I'm glad these videos are out there and hope to see more. At the same time, I don't believe "hang in there" can possibly accomplish enough on its own without real change also occurring in the everyday world these kids face. These kids can't change their environment by themselves. That is up to every single one of us. As adults, we are capable of being responsible for the environment we create around us, and we can help encourage other adults to express their care and concern in their own ways, too. The entire community needs to rally round our kids.
