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
