14 y/o Muslim student arrested for bringing "bomb" to school[It was a Clock]

[Minimalist]

The sad truth is that school administrators might well be the dumbest fucking people on the planet.  Remember this one?

[Neo-Scholastic]

The lesson to learn here couldn't possibly be that teachers shouldn't have students arrested over something they can't even recognize, and it most certainly isn't that non-whites are treated differently, is it?  Sometimes I wonder how you dress yourself in the morning, Chad.

Looks like there was more to the story after all. The kid did not invent or make the clock. He disassembled an old digital clock and packaged it to look like a bomb.





Looks like his stunt succeeded. But it might not have been a stunt.

If I was in charge,

school districts would cover an entire county and would have one superintendent.  He would have 1 secretary.

Each school building would have one principal.  Each school building would have one secretary.

Each class of up to 25 students gets one teacher, larger classes share aides, and not very many of them.

The only other employees would be janitors, lunchroom personnel, and bus drivers.

All parents (unless dead or in prison) have to attended parent teacher conferences.

If the building principal feels it necessary, a county deputy can be requested on site to provide security.

'Expelled' students have to sit in the a special monitored room at the county jail (no windows, TV, radio, or talking)during regular school hours (if they die of boredom, good for them)

I don't know what an administrator or a resource officer is, therefore, there won't be any.  If any of them cause a ruckus while be escorted off school property, the deputy is authorized to shoot them.

It was normal for us to bring water pistols into school, painted black to look more realistic. At every break we used to have fights with them. But I never lived in a society where it was normal to assume that kids could pack real weapons.

So apparently anything with wires is considered a bomb now adays

[*Deidre*]

I'm a little worried about a whole school district and a police force that can't tell the fucking difference between a clock and a bomb.

No wonder Texas is a red state.

no wonder other countries will surpass the US when it comes to academics.

Heh heh. Prove that is his Clock. 
I have seen that picture quite a few times, and tried to find the actual source. Not even Fox News talked about it, which tells me that they have some amount of fact checking(SURPRISE; MOTHAFUCKA), and they thought it was invalid. 
I am guessing that some Conservative Adult did that, specifically an Islamiphobic or Racist one. 
In response to hearing this story, they made this. 
Or you know, I could get into a conspiracy theorist mindset. 
In response to hearing this story, a member of ISIS made this, to make Liberals think less of sucipicious items. 
Liberals follow other people's gazes and people may tend to have a habit to look at their hidden items.
ISIS used a Trumpcard against the Trumpcard of America. Bitch.
