That kid who made the "clock"

Liberals can cry racism and not like it, but as long as muslims are killing innocent people, this will be the way.

I can't believe how the father was smart enough to know that if he sent his son to school with a clock , people's stereotypes would kick in and automatically assume it was a bomb.

More people have been killed w/guns this year in the US than by terrorists. It sucks that you want to now lump in all the gun owners and call them all murders.

You don't have to be that smart, Paul. We have all seen stories of kids getting kicked out of school for "weapons" like a pop tart chewed to look like agun, guns that shoot bubbles, etc. We all know that today, schools will err on the side of caution.

Have you seen a picture of what he brought in? I guarantee you, kids have gotten into trouble for bringing in things that were less scary looking. It looked like a bomb, there is no disputing that.

I agree that the school should err on the side of caution and look into it. However, they went far beyond that. I'm sure most of it had to do with his being Muslim.
