This boy is a hero and such a blessing to his parents they are doing a wonderful job in raising him! What I would like to know is what are the teachers and the principle doing about the kids that are bullying him at school? That should not be happening and should be stopped!

Bless your heart little man! Or should I say Big Man! In my 49 years on this planet, I have met few men who are the kind of man you currently are and will continue to be!!! My hat is off to you. Keep being true to yourself, your friends and your family!
Bravo!!

Its amazing that at 10 years old this boy understands what most 30 year olds in this country cant comprehend. He is very intelligent and I think this boy is going to be a genius when he's further in his education.

Will, what you are doing is amazing and don't let anyone keep you down

Thank you Will! You give so many of us hope for the future. Hopefully, one day every one will except what you have to say. Never give up your ideals and never let anyone push you down. And a big Kudo's to your parent's, you definitely raised a young man to be proud of!

I was crying as I read this article. To know that there are children out there who actually understand what goes on in the world around them and are brave enough to stand up for what's right...that really warms my heart. NorthSteve is exactly right and if somehow, Will, you're reading this, you are my hero. You are fantastic and anyone who refuses to listen to you - whether it be because of their bias against your beliefs or their bias against you personally - isn't somebody who matters. Thank you for your conscience.

This kid deserves a medal for not blindly following. I just wish I could find his address/email and pass on some words of encouragment.
Keep it up, little dude. And FYI, your mocking classmates are douchbags.
