02/21/2018: Parkland, Florida students mobilize

(U.S. Edition) A group of survivors from the Parkland, Florida mass shooting last week are lobbying for gun control laws, and they’re getting a lot of financial support. We’ll take a look at some of the steps they’ve taken to mobilize, along with some of the donors who are supporting the cause. Afterwards, we’ll examine the criteria Texas uses to fund its colleges and universities, and then we’ll talk to Marketplace regular Allan Sloan about why he thinks there was that big drop in markets earlier this month.
