The video shows young children participating in the nationwide “walkout” over gun violence and singing the song “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.”
Regardless of your opinion on the walkout, elementary schoolers are not old enough to form their real opinion on complicated political issues.
The walkout march held today encourages students to leave school to protest school shootings.
It has been heavily promoted by the survivors of the Parkland shooting, many of whom have spoken publicly about the need for additional gun control measures.
Bernie Sanders was also in attendance at the rally, being protected by armed guards. (RELATED: Under Heavily-Armed Police Guard, Bernie Sanders Addresses Anti-Gun Rally)
