How could they fail her for 'not using her voice'?????!!!!!! That is. Disgusting discrimination.

[@annetteperkins3270]

That's exactly what I about to type.

[@gourmet2276]

Queen Bee I know it's dispicable.

[@suprcrip2002]

Incomplete because it's not in her own voice?! Give me a break! It IS her voice! It probably took her 3 or 4 times as long to type it. Her marks cannot possibly reflect her intelligence & how much she has learned.

[@rustierothstein1914]

As a special education teacher and disability advocate I think it was very wrong to not accept your speech because it used the computerized speech. To me, you are doing splendidly. I am guessing by the date of this video that you are now in college or past it. You just keep rocking the boat by exceeding people's expectations.

[@jazzchen5752]

Go Mackenzie! Dont let anyone stop you. Your an inspiration girl :-)

[@angelamcknight3435]

Brave young lady it must be very hard for her to understand what she is trying to tell people who can talk 👄

[@RavenAmongDoves]

They failed her for using that device to talk? What's next, failing Deaf kids because they have an interpreter voice for them?

[@happymark1805]

Good for her that she does'nt give up, thumbs up from the Netherlands

[@annetteperkins3270]

It's interesting to find out what she does with her life. It's also nice to see she can get out of her wheelchair occasionally. That must feel good.

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for watching Annette hope you enjoyed the episode!

[@brian8902]

oh yea we all think about getting out of our chairs-- it's all we think about...

[@harperlee270]

This is stupid that the teachers said that she could not win an award for her speech because that is how she speaks

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks Harper, we kind of agree!

[@BigDaddy-ox8qp]

This video broke my heart. I had a friend who had CP and it was hard for him because people would laugh and make fun of him. Kudos to you Mackenzie! I hope you reach your goals!

[@quintacabecadomato]

very excited to see this, as it gives me hope for my daughter of 6, Angela, with Cerebral palsy

[@matthewgoodsell]

as a VOCA user myself, I am appauled that this girl was failed because she 'didnt use her own voice'. that machine is her voice. the teachers who failed her must be diciplined for this outrage. It makes me very angry indeed

[@97afrye]

[@bocciafan]

Good on you Mackenzie!

[@rohinibalamurali5481]

Truly inspiring and hats off to her hardwork!

[@rs9219]

It's such a sad story but she's still so strong! I would really help her if I could.

[@SwissTanuki]

Do this people know Stephen Hawking? Would you have failed him as well?

[@ShannonJackson42638]

She is beautiful incredible young lady and have a incredible family too

[@Katilea69]

That's ridiculous, surely the school is aware she can't speak with her natural voice.
How is she driving the big chair at school?

[@auccl799]

It was an honour meeting you Mac and I hope you enjoyed going sailing, definately a step towards marine biology :) Best wishes getting your speech grade overturned and well done for continuing to put your efforts into our system and not giving up despite of this.

[@jaguar3uzoda]

Those idiots who didn't give Mackenzie the credit for her speech should've been fired!
Just getting up in front of her classmates takes an extraordinary amount of courage. Good on you, Mackenzie!
