Kenneth Go

In the absence of legislative action on an issue, sometimes private citizens step up to take charge, but they usually aren't high school students... except in this case. Five students from different high schools have started an initiative to bring air conditioning units to sweltering public school classrooms. They call it Fahrenheit 73. Kenneth Go is a Senior at Damien Memorial School and he's the finance director for the project. He joined the show to tell us more about it.

  • Intro Music:  Too Hot by Prince Buster
