It is relevant that it looked like a bomb. White kids have been suspended for having gun shaped objects in school. Sorry you can't make this a Muslim thing. You and the media want it to be about islamaphobia, but it's not. The difference is if a white kid had done it, he wouldn't have been invited to the White House.

I don't think you understood what I wrote, I never said anything about it looking like a bomb..In any case, do you think that if Ahmed was named John and was white,the teacher would've raised the alarm ( no pun intended ) and he would be taken in a room with 5 officers, interrogated and arrested after saying multiple times that it was a clock?

Yes I absolutely do. White kids shoot up schools, white kids get suspended for having toy guns, drawings of guns, etc. A white student would have been interrogated and possibly suspended. But a white kid would not have been invited to the White House.

Yes, in fact, if you read the whole thread, you'll find instances of such. You can even google those yourself if you choose!

So it should never have been looked into in the first place by the administration? If you have a beef, find out why the administration called police. Know why you can't find that information? Because they have not been given permission by the family to tell their side of the story.

Do you support or oppose the white kid being suspended?

Not the PP, but for a pop-tart 'gun'? An imaginary grenade thrown in an imaginary box? A little Lego gun the size of a quarter? These kids were (respectively) a second grader, a seven year old, and a kindergartener. At those ages, nope.

It is completely clear why they called the police. They found a kid who had a timer-looking device. It was obviously not a bomb, but they couldn't understand why a kid would bring a timer-looking device to school. They figured he had to have some kind of ulterior motive.

When the questioned him, he just kept repeating "It's a clock. I brought it to show my teacher." When they asked him to explain further, he just kept telling them, "it is a clock. It isn't a bomb." They kept pressuring him: "But why did you bring it to school? We think it looks like a bomb" And he said "No, it's a clock". They said "Admit it, it looks like a bomb". He said, "No, it is a clock."

They decided that he was being "passive aggressive" and non responsive to their line of questioning. It was unbelievable that a child in school would bring a NON ASSIGNED project to high school. So they called the police as clearly this was something very very suspicious.

The boy's parents will not sign a waiver so the school can tell their side of the story:

The news is saying the boy took apart an old Radio Shack Clock and installed in suitcase. He created nothing. He is lying and is afraid to fess up and disappoint his parents.

No wonder he has to move...he will get pummeled by the football team...

Why should he willingly waive his rights under FERPA? I wouldn't have any reason to trust the school either at this point.

Yes I absolutely do. White kids shoot up schools, white kids get suspended for having toy guns, drawings of guns, etc. A white student would have been interrogated and possibly suspended. But a white kid would not have been invited to the White House.

Cute pictures, but those don't look like bombs, assault rifles, etc. and the students shown were not interrogated by police. Let me be more clear: white students who make things that look like actual weapons/explosive devices and are questioned by school authorities are not invited to the White House.

Wow! Those look like marshmallow canons!! If a kid walked into school with something that was say, black and not orange, and it looked just like an assault rifle, and the kid said "no it's a marshmallow canon," I'll bet that student would get taken to the office and maybe have a few police officers come in to check out the canon-that-looks-like-an-automatic-rifle, and said kid might even get reprimanded for making something that looks like a rifle. But said kid would not be invited to the White House.

It wasn't even an assignment????? I thought the whole class had brought in a type of clock!!!! This is even more ridiculous.
