A 17-year-old is now believed to be the youngest student to ever receive a master’s degree from TCU.
Carson Huey-You walked during Saturday afternoon’s ceremony, where he accepted his master’s degree in physics after receiving his undergraduate degree at 14.
Something like this certainly seems to be one-of-a-kind, but he also has a younger family member, who is now following in his footsteps.

Awesome. I was going to say I hope they were able to dodge the commie indoctrination but I assume Texas Christian University is devoid of that.
Please stop, I’m Bohr’ed.
Seriously, the left is going to have a hard time victimizing them now, convincing them all their problems are because of “white privilege”.
I am just guessing but I would bet these two kids haven’t been encumbered by a public school indoctrination.
LOL! They should get her in the face of Greta the climate-Nazi, every time she opens her mouth “Please stop I’m bored”
I am certain these kids are encumbered with a mother who never allowed them to be boys
“She homeschooled Carson until he began eighth grade, at age 5.”
There you go. The commie indoctrination was skipped saving valuable time.
Don’t jump to conclusions. There might still be racial discrimination here. Check out the eyes and name. Are you sure these aren’t Chinese of color, a Chinaman in the woodpile?
Maybe not, she home schooled them which suggests to me they never had to deal with the distractions from other kids or deal with communist indoctrination and therefore learned a lot faster.
Poor kid....missed his childhood.
Seriously, if that’s the case no doubt in the coming days some leftist “journalist” will uncover it and claim “Asian/white privilege”
“Poor kids are just as smart as white kids”.

I don’t see why he would have missed his childhood. He just had accelerated learning to go with it.
Maybe not. I know a girl who earned her Bachelors at 17 and had a completely normal childhood.
What's the point in sitting in grade school classes when you're fully capable of doing junior high studies? The kid would be bored out of his mind.....
Pushy mothers eventually lose their disgusted kids
He couldn't understand why more parents wouldn't demand that their children be challenged. Why they'd go from expecting a child from managing to make it most of the day not wetting their pants to picking up a thousand word vocabulary and then stop and spend a year learning the difference between colors and how to count and maybe even add and subtract a bit.
What stops a 5 year old from learning long division? The school, usually. Their classmate might only speak Spanish at home, but speaks English in class - why aren't the other students learning a second language? Basic grasps of engineering, chemistry, biology are easily understood by most 8 year olds, but a chapter book is considered their challenge.
And here we were, a class of 9 to 11 year olds, taking a moment from learning Fortran to talk about such things. The most astute observation was “wouldn't the teacher have to know a lot more stuff to do that?”
Later that day we tested our designs to launch an egg on a rocket and return it to earth intact.
We have a multi-trillion dollar education block that depends on children being held back to learn everything by rote and at the same time. Which is really weird when you consider that there's nothing requiring the printed textbook or standardized test anymore.
We've got the world at our fingertips and we lock our children into a room with a teacher who has been drilled into their head exactly what to teach, when to teach it, and how to teach it.
And there's tens of thousands of teachers and educators whom their entire income is tied up into the existing system.
The extraordinary thing is not that what we consider a child can accomplish the tasks for an advanced degree, the extraordinary thing is that so few get the chance.
