Clock Boy Files Suit Against Former Texas School for Discrimination

Ahmed Mohamed the “Clock Boy” was named American Muslim of the year by CAIR, “Most Influential Teen of 2015”, was given a full scholarship to Qatar Foundation school, and numerous other unwarranted ‘honors’.

This year’s winner of the American Muslim of the year award is Ahmed Mohamed, also known as “Clock Kid”. His claim to fame is getting arrested for making a homemade clock that looked like a bomb. While accepting his award, he claimed that he wanted to stop the type of discrimination that creates situations like the one he faced, which many are saying occurred due to racial profiling. Well, what did he think was going to happen?

Since then, the teenager has received all kind of publicity, including a Twitter hashtag #Clockboy and a personal invite from President Obama to visit the White House.

“Cool clock, Ahmed,” tweeted the president. “Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.”

Now, the boy who cried wolf at the United Nations when it was reported, “Speaking to reporters ahead of the meeting with Davutoğlu, Mohamed said he was excited to meet the Turkish prime minister [and] said he wanted to raise awareness against racism and discrimination,” said Todays Zaman, a Turkish newspaper that support’s Turkey’s Islamist government.”

Again the Mohamed family is in the news as the father has filed suit alleging “a violation of the teen’s civil rights. During the press conference, Hutchison asserted “there was no cause” for the Ahmed Mohamed’s arrest last year and accused the Irving school district of “paranoia” towards Muslims.”

 Hutchison said the only remedy to this matter is “money” and they are “suing for justice.” They have not stated a dollar amount to sue for, so far. Hutchison said that would be up to a jury.”

The lawsuit claims Ahmed Mohamed’s rights were violated when he was arrested last year after the 14-year-old brought to school a clock device that resembled a hoax bomb. Although Mohamed’s engineering teacher advised him to put it away, he did not listen. Instead, Ahmed took the “clock” to English class where he plugged it in. It started to beep and scared the teacher. No charges were ever filed against the teen once the situation sorted itself out, but Mohamed served three days of suspension before his family withdrew him from Irving ISD and relocated to Qatar where Mohamed accepted a full scholarship to attend a Qatar Foundation school.

“Former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Fox News that the family could face fraud charges if the parents were complicit in the hoax, collecting money on a hallow pretense.”

Instead of charges being filed against the Mohamed family, the District is being sued.

The lawsuit accuses the Irving Independent School District of displaying a pattern of disproportionate disciplinary actions for black students. It also asserts Mohamed’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated when he was detained by police and by principal Daniel Cummings for over an hour without the presence of his parents before he was arrested.

Irving ISD responded to its being named in the lawsuit shortly after the Mohamed Family press conference in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas:

“Legal counsel for Irving ISD has confirmed that the school district was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed today in Dallas federal court by attorneys for a former Irving ISD student. As with any legal matter of this nature, attorneys for the school district will review the filing and respond as appropriate. Irving ISD continues to deny violating the student’s rights and will respond to claims in accordance with court rules. Because this matter is now in litigation, Irving ISD officials will have no further comment at this time.”

Clock Boy strikes again.  The world unfortunately cannot put this story to sleep, as Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed the boy’s father keeps forcing his child into the public eye.
