The type of clock Texans and Okies can recognize:

Yeah, passive aggressive 14 year old children. You're revolting.

This would have happened in any state. You can't bring something that looks like a fake bomb to any school in the US.

The irony was for a quacker to bring that clock and THAT actually being a bomb.
Noone expetcs the pendulum clock!

He's a 14 year old boy who wears a NASA t-shirt to school and probably gets bullied for being the honor student nerd kid, who thinks about robots instead of football and girls. He'll have spent years having to deal with bullies not just because of being a nerd, but also because of his name and the colour of his skin. Now his school and the authorities chose to take on the role of his bullies. Now you apparently want to join in too, because a 14 year old kid obviously needs more people making his life more difficult.

His father chose to defend his faith against a radical nutjob who wanted to paint all Muslims as evil. And to you that makes his father the radical? Really?

Yes, There are always two sides in the radical world. Our society has shown that time and time again. Individuals can do unbelievable acts all in the name of their chosen cause.

Excellent

BTW your avatar had a brilliant anti-authority history, so it doesn't fit with your post

I had no clue who this avatar was when I chose it, but I would have to disagree with you. I don't like being manipulated by others. Whether it is individuals, Groups, media, or government agendas to further their supported cause. I am definitely not a Sheeple!

If he thinks about robots instead of girls at age fourteen, he probably had a hard life ahead of him no matter what.

[Kidlicious]

He probably where's Batman Underoos too.

But it's not easy to fit a grandfather clock in your backpack.

I have said it before...the school system would have been suspicious whether this child was Muslim, Caucasian, Black, Hispanic or Asian. The police were following up as necessary. What I would like to know is whether there was a legitimate science project? Seems likely not. The police were just trying to determine whether he purposely wanted to create a hoaxed bomb or not? Even fake bombs are essentially the same thing as yelling 'Fire' in a crowded theater and there is not one. You get arrested and interrogated for that too.

Edit add: As far as bullied kids in school. Those are the ones who will most likely want to get revenge in their own way. I think a fake bomb would be right up their alley.

So anyone who stands up for anything they believe in is a radical who we should fear? Good to know.

Bull****. They determined straight away it wasnt a bomb, yet because he had brown skin and was called Ahmed Mohamed suddenly this 14 year old child must have had a secret political agenda. Because hey, why else would a little Muslim child possibly have an interest in making things other than bombs, right?

Come to think of it, I've probably come closer than most other polytubbies to being in this kid's shoes; in tenth grade, I made a tasteless joke in class which led to my being kept out of school until I got a full psych evaluation to establish that I "did not represent a significant threat to my peers at this time." Not as bad as he got, but my reward for the hassle was smaller too. I got a few days off school, which happened to also earn me a free extension on a research paper I'd put off too long to do on time. He's getting invited to the White House. Well played, young man. Well played.

Whitey isn't allowed to bring fake bombs to school either dip****!

Don't forget that this ******* kid was probably just playing the authorities for fools in support of an ******* father who had the colossal gall to stand up against ignorance and bigotry. Hell, the kid isn't even white! Yet he'll get a scholarship that should have gone to a white kid.
