[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]If a kid brought a small black suitcase looking thing loaded with wires and circuits and even a clock-and plugged it in during English class-and it made a ticking sound-it would alarm me as a parent, teacher or school administrator.  It would alarm me regardless of the kids race, religion or ethnicity.  The school has to protect hundreds of kids during school hours-the clock or whatever the fuck it was looked suspicious-it did not look like a clock-but a small black leather , steel framed case with crude wiring and electrical tape.  I think the school made the right call-perhaps the police could have questioned the kid more, called in his parents, or even bomb experts to inspect the device/clock.  Perhaps this kid is a future engineer with lots of good to give back to the world, perhaps he is a future terrorist who will use his skills for evil.  None of us know what his future holds-but I know that if my kid was in class with that kid, and brought that "clock" in (this is not the potato clock or a snap circuit kiddie type looking clock)-I would be happy to know the school took all the right steps as a precaution to protect my child.  These are scary times we live in-[b]a black kid in a hoodie, a muslim kid with a crude looking electronic homeade device, a skinhead white kid with a gun.[/b]....they can all be just innocent kids-or they can all pose a threat and do great damage to others.

You know what is amazing about this post? None of those descriptions fit the kids who have committed most atrocities at schools.
