Education Human & Civil Rights Local Issues
Unique and precious
Is each boy and girl
Every single one
All around the world
Some are normal
Whatever that means
But so many others
Have much greater needs
There was a place
Known as Willowbrook
A place of mis’ry
Where we didn’t have to look
Instead of school
It’s where THOSE kids went
But the ones from rich families
To private schools were sent
Education is a human right
Into darkness, it shines a light
Let’s meet all the needs of all of our kids
Brilliant, average, special ed
