“He should be proud, and we should question why someone in the public education system in the ‘greatest country on earth’ has to commit a crime (stealing his neighbor’s Wi-Fi) and go hungry and stay up all hours of the night. Having the same access and opportunities to education as his rich counterparts should be the norm. This level of exceptionalism shouldn’t be normal. Everybody should have the same opportunities.”
