According to Yahoo's website, some of the parents aren't thrilled by the schools decision to let children participate in this rally, but the school's founder and executive director George Borden stands by his decision to let the students protest.
Borden told The Boston Globe that the teachers sent home notes alerting the parents about the demonstration and parents could have their children opt out of the rally if they chose to do so.
Back in November, a grand jury decided not to indict officer Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo. Police officer involved in the fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Brown.
Since the Ferguson prosecutor's office announced the decision, violence has erupted in the streets of the suburban neighborhood and people around the world are still participating in civil protests to show support for the dead teen and the rest of the Brown family.
Over the weekend, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. and other cities around the world held "Millions March," and people are demanding change within the justice system.
