The Trump administration has spread their xenophobic racism to all aspects of our society. You can bet this was just another example of it!

This enrages me. How dare they take something from a child that worked hard to achieve something because they are virulent racists!

This is not the America I thought I knew. Absolute disgrace and I don’t know how we climb out of this hole.

So much for “meritocracy”. Based on his work ethic and intelligence, he has a bright future regardless of their judgement.

Horrible. Hopefully he will use the experience in a positive way in his brilliant future. Amazing what you went through Chloe! Congratulations!

It sounds like he should have won, but these are the days of rump, and these days a cute white person had better win or the judges would never be heard from again.

Never a Mario Lopez fan.. like Mike Huckabee selling insurance or whatever.. and Oz.

Don't get me started.

As a parent, grandparent and educator this makes me sick🤬

In doubting that a contest was fairly scored, the student and his family are following in the footsteps of rump, except that their case is valid.

A second response. Without giving out names, take this to the public— The judges showed prejudice to a son of legal immigrants(check this for accuracy). They are very likely the descendants of immigrants too. So if they disqualified Singh from a prize due to that, then they too should be disqualified as judges for being related to immigrants themselves. And a disgrace to America!

How tragically ironic. The immigrant son who knows more about the Constitution than anyone else in the room is shut out of a prize by judges with an administration that both ignores and violates it!
