Like what?  It was a clock.[/quote]

Maybe the student brought it in as a prank? [/quote]

Yeah. That's what the school system admin is trying to make everyone believe now. But, um, no. They are just idiots. Bigoted, racist idiots. [/quote]

I don't think it is 100% bigotry.

I honestly think 25% of the problem was that people honestly thought this could be confused by some, as a bomb.   Even the Engineering teacher knew -- he (she?) said -- cool, but don't show it to any other teachers.  He (she) KNEW that this would set off knee jerk reactions among staff who would look at it and see -- OMG -- electrical circuits -- could be a bomb!!!

And 25% administrator lack of judgment.   (100% lack of judgment, but that only added 25% to the cluster fuck of what happened).   The administrator should have NOT called the police -- what a complete overreaction!   Citing a 14 year old for being "passive agressive" in his responses -- ridiculous and shows no understanding of teen agers who are being accused of wrongdoing.   And, as someone earlier posted, the administrator seemed completely surprised by the fact that a teen would be interested in electronics, and want to share it with his teachers and classmates.  "I made a clock and brought it in to show people" is a PERFECT explanation for why he brought some electronics to school.

50% bigotry, though, absolutely.
