Ahmed Mohamed: Homemade clock boy quits Texas school

The family of a Muslim teenager arrested after a homemade clock he brought to his Texas school was mistaken for a bomb, has withdrawn him from the school.

Ahmed Mohamed's father, Mohamed El-Hassan Mohamed, said he had pulled all his children from schools in the area.

According to Mr Mohamed the arrest had a harmful effect on the teen.

Ahmed's arrest has been sharply criticised and the charges against him were quickly dropped.

Ahmed was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, after officials thought the device he brought to school was a "hoax bomb".

"Ahmed said: 'I don't want to go to MacArthur,'" Mr Mohamed told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. "These kids aren't going to be happy there."

Ahmed has received numerous enrolment offers from schools, his father said, adding that he wanted to give him a break before making a decision.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

As a matter of fact, there is a lovely little Islamic village, not far from there, where the boy and his radical activist father (bet you didn't hear that part of the story in the media reports, did you?) might go for some "quality time".

Hoax Exposed: Muslim Student Ahmed Mohamed's 'Briefcase Clock' is 1980s Digital Alarm Clock

"It was a Hoax. Ahmed Mohamed’s claims that he assembled a clock at home that he took to school is starting to unravel. Two investigators who have studied the image of Mohamed’s device provided by Irving, Texas police have concluded that Mohamed did not make the clock. Both conclude that Mohamed disassembled a manufactured clock and installed it in a large pencil box without its casing. And both say it is possible it was done to provoke suspicion or to resemble a bomb."

Of course it was deliberate...to provoke.   :whistle:

Of course. It always does, these days.

It works because our news media are conditioned to accept any narrative that validates their cultural prejudices, which is the very thing that makes such idiots useful.
