You mean, like this white blonde 15 year old girl in Denmark that murdered her mother together with her Islamist boyfriend, after watching ISIS videos? Maybe they should have handcuffed that Danish girl in time... My point being that accusing someone just because they look brown is wrong, and assuming someone can do no wrong because they are a 14/15 year old blonde girl is also wrong. The problem is not the color of the skin, but whether they were poisoned with the wrong ideology or not.
To be fair, they could have asked him "Why did you bring this to school?" and maybe he said nothing. Maybe the kid was traumatized and didn't want to talk to the police because they yanked him out of school in handcuffs and wouldn't let him see his dad. The police could have found out about the reason why he brought the clock if they talked to his engineering teacher, though.
Thank goodness white people have you to look out for them. They are so mistreated and have all the disadvantages in the world.
Maybe. And maybe the kid is just too smart and understand to NOT offer anything to the police. If my kid is in that situation, I would be glad that nothing additional is given. Who knows what they imagine up next.
were anyone of you so called justice warrior outrage by this? http://www.thenewsnerd.com/local/boy-suspended-school-reading-bible-recess/ Did Obama speak out about it?
Ahh so maybe now we can come closer to agreeing about how we shouldn't racially profile for security scans. Because once you do, then the white blond terrorists get a free pass and can do horrible damage. Racially profiling just isn't effective at stopping terrorism.
Why would Obama need to speak out about it when this kid has this kid has you people to do that for him? If a school is violating the free exercise clause of the 1st Amendment, I suspect that there are plenty of ways to seek redress, and plenty of organizations backing supporting the student. Edit: Ha... apparently Obama didn't speak about it because it's a fake joke story.
Yeah, an "unnamed" source in the Irving ISD is saying just that. The Irving ISD is in full spin mode and they need to be - a Council on American Islamic Relations representative has escorted Ahmed and his family off to talk to a lawyer.
Movie bomb (appears to be missing the wile e coyote tnt): May want to ignore weird Instagram filter applied by police.
It must suck to feel so gosh-darn angry all of the time. Why can't wrong just be wrong? Why do you turn it into a tit-for-tat?

This is as stupid as kids getting expelled under zero tolerance rules for making their hand into a gun shape and pointing it at someone.
I am outraged. OUTRAGED! Outraged that you'd post a completely made up story and try to pass it off as some kind of real-life gotcha story. http://lubbockonline.com/interact/b...ys-story-plainview-boy-suspended#.VfmvLxFVhBc [rquoter]School district says story of Plainview boy suspended for reading Bible not true A recent article by The News Nerd claims Plainview Middle School student Joshua Patterson was suspended for reading his Bible at recess after being told several times he was not allowed to practice his religion during school hours. Now, Joshua's parents are reportedly threatening a lawsuit against the district for violating their son's Constitutional rights. But this is the first Plainview Independent School District has heard of the situation -- a story that just isn't true. "There is no school here named Plainview Middle School, as far as I know there is not a student by that name, and I can say with great assurance we would never suspend a child for reading a Bible," Director of Communications Jan Seago -- who so graciously responded to my email while on vacation -- said Monday. According to The News Nerd website, "The stories posted on The NewsNerd are for entertainment purposes only. The stories may mimic articles found in the headlines, but rest assured they are purely satirical." Other home page headlines of theirs include "Kanye West to play Apostle Paul in upcoming Bible-based film," "Chicago considered war zone, military deployed" and "John Boehner caught praising Obamacare on open microphone." [/rquoter] (But, if the story was true, then yeah, I would have been outraged.)
The site is rated low and not safe, so didn't proceed. But I was able to read a bit of it. Sounds dumb that he couldn't read the Bible, unless he's ignoring school activities to read it during school time. However, I didn't see that cops were called in and he was handcuffed and taken to the police station for questioning. If that happen, I'm sure there would be national outrage. It's stupid, but not on the same level of stupidity as this incident.
why is wrong for me to ask if anyone who is "outrage" of this story also had the same feeling about the kid I who was suspended for reading a bible?
