I guarantee their lives and world are better because their fifth grader is in it. Being in this world is enough. No one produces, achieves, or accomplishes their way to worthiness. We are born with it. As criticism continues to pour in online, it remains to be seen if Prager will address the situation and discuss his stance in the days to come.
