    That poor kid, imagine having the title “girl born in jail” following you around for the rest of your life regardless of what you accomplished.

    Dyslexia definitely made me wonder why she was going to jail. Seems she overcame whatever was holding her parent(s) back when seems at least a little uplifting.

    It is uplifting. A child born under awful circumstances overcame there obstacles that life handed her where most people would fail. Props to her father and mentors for helping her, too.

    Seems like a stretch to post this here but I imagine there’s some hoop jumping someone’s gonna do to justify it.

      The community rallied around her to give her the support she needed to succeed. What might happen if we helped everyone?

        Then more people would succeed. But that has nothing to do with a dystopian society, that’s just human nature. Been going on like that forever

    The dystopic part is that it’s assumed an intelligent person is expected to achieve less due to their lineage.

      It’s not just “assumed”. There have been numerous studies that people with better social networks and resources around them are much more likely to succeed. It’s not surprising at all
