He was being home-schooled when he gave his speech. Earlier he went to a religious school. I don't know what his situation is now.

Young people are bound to go through a lot of changes before they reach adulthood. At some point they decide they're missing out on something, so they go in another direction. It takes a while before they figure out who they are and what they want to be.

It was a mistake to make Jonathan something more than a ordinary 14 year old. But probably not that much of a mistake. He had his moment 3 years back and afterwards he was pretty much forgotten. He has another moment today, and then he goes back to being an ordinary 17 year old.

This is true. It seems they almost feel obligated to repudiate anything they said as a child when they're in the spotlight, as if it's the only way to show their "growth".

As with so many other things, our ancestors had a point when they decreed that children should be seen and not heard. They weren't stupid, they were trying to save us from our own naivete.and even at that they weren't dealing with the leftist anti-white indoctrination which children are now being brainwashed with in government schools.
