Appearances matter. Case in point: a 14-year-old Muslim boy who enjoys tinkering with things was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to his Texas high school. The clock was inside a hard case filled with wires and batteries that made it appear to be a homemade bomb.
The arrest prompted speculations of Islamophobia from the Islamic groups, but police say they won’t charge him with creating a “hoax bomb.” Photos of the device would cause anyone to question it.
Ninth graders have been known to blow themselves up for Allah. Can people be blamed for the…alarm?

I’m sorry, but what did his parents expect when Americans read news articles and watch videos of muslims threatening America. And ESPECIALLY near the 9-11 annuversary. Duh…..
And the libtards ask you back: “What if the child was white?””
Teacher did a great job.
Clock or “timer”
if it was my kid I would expect the same.and I’m white..I don’t play the race card.most schools have a no tolerance for that….this is 2015…he could have done a computer demenstration or even drawn it on the chalk board and explained his thesis on it..if my kid done something like that I would expect the same for the safty of my child and those of others.
Demorrhoids
This kid brought a clock… And got arrested.. This is too far
He was stupid for making it resemble a bomb.
It looked sort of like a suitcase bomb more than it looked like a clockface.
It’s better to be safe than sorry. So many children’s life was at stake. However he should have not been arrested.
