"The principal threatened to expel him if he didn’t make a written statement, he said."
"He’s vowed never to take an invention to school again."

and that's how bigotry kills dreams and stands in the way of innovation.

Nowadays, just being named Mohamed makes people leery of you.

I heard on the radio that obama thinks his invention looks cool and invited him to the whitehouse.
Here's a pic of the clock. Pretty standard looking, I have a similar one.

LOL I'd like to see the kid try to get that into the Whitehouse when he goes to visit! Watch 10 Secret Service agents slam him to the ground.

I think this is the picture of the clock before it was dismantled by the Irving Texas bomb squad

This is unfortunate on two fronts: 1. This happened to a kid named Ahmed Mohamed and 2. That this decision set was taken by law enforcement in Texas... America: no bias - perpetuating stereotypes on both ends of the political continuum....

Just cause they always do in the movies, people naturally assume a bomb must have a visual display.

What I find amazing is, if they thought it was a bomb why didn't they:
- evacuate the school
- call 911
- follow any of the school emergency protocol
One of the school staff did take a picture of this young fellow when he was handcuffed...
