Touched beyond words

Do you know what all teenagers are thinking?  Do you know that some fight for what is right?  At a recent LETR conference, this video was shown.

It depicts a teenager fighting against the use of the R-word.  Please take a few moments and watch.  You will be touched beyond words.
