I don’t know if you watched the whole video, but after the speech part at the school board he was part of an interview on camera and, for his age, quite well spoken and animated. I think he’ll grow into a well adjusted intelligent man. Of course he shouldn’t be making important decisions at this age but we all have a right to our own opinions, especially those that directly impact us. The school forces him to do something he hates. He has two choices - comply or complain.
