Hadi Partovi on Twitter: "My family fled a war to come to the US after the Iran hostage crisis when I was 11. I remember being bullied to “go home.” Had we “gone home,” I may not have survived the war. And I wouldn’t have started @codeorg, which has helped hundreds of millions of students globally."

  I encourage other immigrants and children of immigrants to share their stories. The USA is a nation of immigrants.

  I remember the Iranian hostage crisis. I was in the 6th grade & lived at the USMA which is where the former hostages came when released. I am sorry your family had to leave your country but so glad that kids globally are learning to code. #ThisIsYourHome #YouMadeADifference

  You don’t want US to become Iran or Africa or Cuba or Venezuela or Somalia. You want to enjoy the freedom and rule of law. Unfortunately, some of the immigrants want to turn USA into a mini version of their old country they flee from. They hate USA and they’d better go back.
