Children giving testimony is just pandering... They can only parrot things they are taught and have no original thoughts and valuable information.

People who are not genius-level often disbelieve what is right in front of their face when they hear a brilliant child speak. This girl has already won national math competitions, and is manifestly articulate well beyond her years. She is a living demonstration that really smart children are just as much "special needs" as those who have intellectual deficits.

She spoke about such motivated kids being able to meet their potential through school choice. That is not parroting someone else's opinion -- she has actually experienced it through competing against others in a difficult field.

What would our world be without child prodigies, like Mozart, Benjamin Franklin, John Stuart Mill, Blaise Pascal, Yo-Yo Ma, Tiger Woods? All of them started excelling before the age of 9.

Don’t confuse idiots with facts. Knee jerk contrarians.

Stupid FR idiots: “Why is Trump napping when he should be doing the gard work of fixing everything I voted for?”
