http://time.com/4036951/ahmed-mohamed-clock-bomb-school-safety/
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/17/us/texas-student-is-under-police-investigation-for-building-a-clock.html?_r=0
"Ahmed Mohamed’s homemade alarm clock got him suspended from his suburban Dallas high school and detained and handcuffed by police officers on Monday after school officials accused him of making a fake bomb. By Wednesday, it had brought him an invitation to the White House, support from Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mark Zuckerberg, and a moment of head-spinning attention as questions arose whether he had been targeted because of his name and his religion...."
and the article goes on.
discuss...intelligently.
PS: i can't find any info on any science assignment, this may be code words used to obfuscate the issue, and i apologize for legitimizing it.
it may have been done to impress a teacher at school; however, it is in evidence that the kid had told his teacher about it and that it was cleared by him, and that it was a misinformed teacher that was alarmed about it.

that's kinda irrelevant if it's days old news. it's still being talked about and people are still sharing their opinions on it.

yeah, but lets talk about why because i'm sure there are quite a few people who'd disagree with that statement.

Ppl aready had a whole discussion about this before. Im not at all convinceed that this kid was a victim of racial profiling. My friend in school used to take apart electronics and stuff all the time and basically causes a huge incident because of it. If someone sees a bunch of weird wires in aback pack in school now adays they often jump to conclusions. I mean I went to school right after colombbine so maybe my opinion on how the incident was handled is skewed. But all I know is it doesnt matter what color your skin is if you bring anything even remotly resembling a bomb anywhere near a school and people will flip the fuck out trust me. seent it a thousand times

It's easy in hindsight, now that we know it was just a clock, to call the teacher and the police morons. But with all of the school shootings, or shit just random public shootings in general, the teacher was proactive.
That "clock" looked sketch. And did they think more of it because he was a muslim kid of middle eastern descent? Maybe. Probably. So what. There's a pretty damn good reason for that in case people haven't noticed.
So they were wrong. Apologize to the kid and his family, give them some free gift cards to fucking Olive Garden or some shit, and let's move on.

Let's just not. Anyone who would disagree with that is a fucking idiot not worth debating.
I'll pose one simple question that I saw posed when the story first broke. If they were truly afraid it was a bomb, why was the school not evacuated? Why was everything so non-nonchalant?
This entire ordeal was complete bullshit driven by America's stupidity and fear of terrorist-boogey-man. It was never about legitimate fear, it was a few idiots who thought they busted some mastermind and were ready to reap all the glory.
If it weren't for this ridiculous stupidity being so pervasive in American culture country wide, this would have never been an issue. It literally is just a bunch of stupid fucking people thinking they thwarted the next attack and patting themselves on the back for having done so.

ethics is always 20/20 hindsight. people should admit their mistakes, but people aren't. that's the problem. if it wasn't a bomb, it wasn't a bomb, so people should be more mindful of that fact instead of trying to assert that it's a hoax to subliminally get media to project the kid to the white house.
people actually think that.

I said it another thread and I'm going to say it here. Stop making it out like this is a Texas thing or they're the majority responsible. Fuck that. Own up to it. This entire fucking country is that goddamned retarded. This could have happened in any school in any state.
I dunno what state you're from, but I guarantee your state is just as fucking stupid. This is a country wide issue, not a state issue.

I'll only entertain that question once you give sufficient grounds for even asking it. There is literally nothing I've said that could even warrant the question. I think you should lay off the DXM, the past month or two you've seemed loopy as fuck.

^ LOL
the clock kid went to a teacher to confirm with them it wasn't anything to be suspicious about, and that it was just a science project...teacher confirmed...then another idiot teacher got crazed because of her misinformed stupidity.
shows how much you know about this story.
