    If you see something say something, except if the person is middle eastern. You don't want to be labeled a racist, do you?

    Do you remember when they were sucking up to the press waiting outside of their home by buying them pizza?

    I don't know why Hillboy has to keep pointing out the color of skin for the teachers and principals.

    I was being deliberately snarky here. What you have to understand is the atmosphere in which all this stupidity came about. The city of Irving is not very diverse at all with a small but growing Muslim population and the mayor is a proud white Texas Republican Islamaphobic idiot. She's consistent railed against the Muslim community with her baseless claims that their goal is to seek to impose Sharia Law in Irving and the rest of US. So, like all good white Texas Republicans, she's using bigotry and intolerance to advance her personal political agenda - a tactic which works quite well here in Texas I might add. Irving is "Trump Country" and, as we all know, there's NO place for anyone who worships Islam in Trump's America.

    Anyway, into this atmosphere steps the Irving ISD which is overwhelmingly white in composition especially amongst its administration. These so-called "educators" have demonstrated (and it has been documented) that there are a different set of standards for students that depends on the color of their skin tone. The prevailing attitude there is that those students are not expected to possess the same intellectual talents and abilities of their white peers.

    So when Ahmed brought his clock to school to show his teachers what he'd made, all they saw a brown-skinned Muslim kid with an electronic device so he just had to be some sort of "junior jihadist" out to blow up the school. They isolated him, called the police who grilled him for 2 hours in an attempt to force him to confess that he'd made a fake bomb and then handcuffed him and paraded him in front of everybody. Not once did they notify his parents which is what schools do when the child in question is white. So, you see, I was using snarkiness to point out the ugliness and bigotry of the ones responsible for turning an event so innocuous into an international embarrassment.

    It's just something racists do, don't pay too much attention to it.

    I mean you just justified cops being racist against blacks - maybe it's time you just admit to your own bias.

    So long as it's not murder, you are clearly saying the report is meaningless and excusing racism by police departments as not a real issue but a red herring to deflect away against illegitimate cases.

    I think you should stick with being honest instead of attacking people. Usually this is a sign of projection (you are probably the one on meds).

    Oh you are such a feeble minded individual aren't you? You fail to follow along in a conversation and then run your mouth about what you didn't understand. I hope one day you get help.

    Judge dismisses Ahmed Mohamed 'Clock Boy’ suit against Irving ISD
    http://www.chron.com/news/houston-t...ses-Ahmed-Mohamed-Clock-Boy-suit-11159334.php

    It's finally over.

    "Principals are responsible for the safety of students and others on campus and, as part of that responsibility, often have to make decisions quickly and with little information.... A principal's fate is not so hapless that, on the one hand, by not taking action he is faced with the gruesome prospect of death or serious injury of persons had the device actually been a bomb and exploded; and, on the other hand, he is faced with a federal lawsuit for denial of a student's constitutional rights because the device turned out not to be a bomb."

    Edit: Is this the end or just the beginning? https://www.dallasnews.com/news/irv...sses-clock-boy-ahmed-mohameds-suit-irving-isd

    The fact that they moved to Qatar of all places after the incident tells me exactly how concerned they are with human/civil rights.

    Can't offer up any recent inventions, so he defaults to the identity politics of the left.

    Worthless. His and his family's absence from this country is what we call "addition by subtraction".

    Did he just call a desk clock where he removed the internal circuit board, display and the wiring from the housing and stuffing it inside another box an invention? Ya this kid is a joke.

    this might be relevant if it were true. But.....it ain't and you got conned and compared the kids "persecution" to Galileo. It's hilarious because it's true. You clearly thought it was some project instead of a con job to acquire profit from suckers like yourself and peace out to Qatar after duping fools like you and other Obamatrons.
