16-Year-Old Malala Yousafzai Leaves Jon Stewart Speechless With Comment About Pacifism

Stewart asked her how she reacted when she learned that the Taliban wanted her dead. Her answer was absolutely remarkable.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

When Malala says that education gives women power and the audience cheers, I’m thinking

  2. The U.S. high school drop out rate is high
  3. U.S. college is not getting more affordable
