Elizabeth Warren: I Stand with Ahmed

"My grandson Atticus is almost five, and he loves gadgets. Atticus makes coffee with Bruce every morning we visit because he’s fascinated by the way the coffee maker works. I have no doubt that someday we’ll show up and Atticus will have built his own coffee maker or toaster or clock or some sort of flying robot with really cool dragon wings. And who knows? Maybe someday Atticus – or one of his big sisters – will build something that changes the world. We invest in science and education so that kids like Atticus – or Ahmed in Texas – can create a world we never dreamed of. Let’s invest in our kids’ dreams – not tear them down with hatred and fear."
