[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here-the link above talks about the sister and her issues with the same school district.[/quote]

Here's the problem though - that school is less than 10% caucasian. So it's not 'white privilege'. The teachers and staff can't tell their side of the story because Ahmed is a minor. They asked Ahmed's parents to do so and they refuse. The police state that he was uncooperative, just saying over and over again "it's a clock", but came alive when the media got involved. Furthermore, what's the point of taking a clock out of it's case and putting it in a pencil box? Was it modified in any way? My kids wouldn't have done that unless they were going to make changes to the way it worked or use the components for something else, probably with my husband's help. I don't think Ahmed's homemade clock would have made it past security in lots of places.

There is no way to back up the sister's story - we have to take her at her word?

What are the odds that two kids from the family of an activist father both are victims of Islamophobia in a minority school?[/quote]
