A student named Ahmed Mohamed brings a “clock”
to his Irving, Texas high school that
happens to be hidden in a case that
appears to be ticking… and he, and
his contraption, are removed from said school and he was temporarily arrested…and
it’s considered an act of racism??!!! We have completely lost our minds and are
hell-bent on our own destruction.
Kids
can’t bring a Swiss Army knife to
school anymore without being accosted and sent home. Recently a young white boy
chewed a pop-sickle stick into the
shape of a “gun” and was disciplined for this egregious transgression of school
safety rules. Kids are sent home for having a butter knife on them or an
unidentified vial of liquid. Or for wearing an “offensive” shirt, like one
touting the U.S. or Christianity, for example. This has happened several times.
If
Ahmed is anything close to as intelligent as he is touted to be, he well knew
what kind of response his actions would bring about. And is therefore guilty of
the charge of bringing a “faux bomb” to school, which was the cause of his
brief arrest.
Who
brings clocks to school? Many kids
don’t even wear watches, they just look at their I-phones when they want to
know what time it is. Yet, in our post 9/11 world, a boy named Mohamed brings
to school a ticking briefcase with wires coming out of it (and a clock inside)
and the authorities that detained him are called bullies and racists?
That should be alarming.
