There is more evidence that the "no tolerance" in this case is less about things that look like bombs and more about no tolerance for the rights of Muslims, or even the notion of entertaining the idea that everything they do might not be to cause murder and mayhem.
Something tells me that's not a policy you'd want to relax. Again, I'd bet my left nut white kids brought things some dope teacher with no background in engineering could convince herself was a bomb.

Moral is dont bring in anything to school that resembles something that can kill people, especially if you have a middle eastern name and look.

Exactly a kid got suspended for a Pop eaten in the shape of a gun.

This was all just a stunt anyway. Clock boy's dad is an activist. Running for president of Sudan.

Hah..But I almost want to bet that the FBI, NSA, CIA, ETC did a little looking into it, just to be sure. Almost like a start of a new 24. They find that one link to some foreign bank account to some terrorist and Jack Bauer kicks ass again.

Is that why Ron Paul's' son got arrested for DUI?

It was for engineering class. Do you know what happens in engineering class? You learn to make crap from wires and other bomb-looking stuff. It was a legit school project. A school with an engineering class needs to warn teachers that kids may bring things that a non-engineer might find scary. Geez.

Makes sense since white people are always the ones going on shooting sprees! Look how profiling works!
But seriously, my issue is that a school with a sanctioned class based around making homemade electronic stuff follows up by going ape when a kid has the nerve to make a project for class. He didn't just bring this clockbomb for fun, it was part of his class. I would just assume a school that teaches engineering wouldn't go ape when kids show up with engineering projects.

Can you show me any information that validates that this was for an assigned engineering project ?
If there was no project assigned, then there was absolutely no reason to have that rig on school grounds.
Second....you know this just a dismantled alarm clock in a pencil case, right ?
Is it an engineering feat to glue it in there ?
The more I read of it, the more I believe the kid and parents got exactly what they wanted.

I think it's more logical that some teacher overreacted because she watches too much TV, but I guess it could be some convoluted plot and the school just happened to fall right in line, sure.

Can't have a Muslim carrying a cotton gin because if I squint hard enough I can convince myself it's a bomb. Also, those Boston Marathon bombers made bombs out of crock pots so every time I see a Muslim near a kitchen or an appliance section of a store I have to pull an alarm. Oh, what a world!

Yeah, the family definitely milked it. I don't focus much on the arrest because what the procedures are, what was said, no idea. I do think, however, that a white kid with the same device would not have caused the same fuss.

I do agree.
It has been said that this family has had attitude problems.
However, it is possible that their attitude is caused by poor treatment from the community.
I don't live there, so I don't know.

About that clock.
Former FBI agent says the school system acted properly...so you all can tone down your inane Islamophobe rhetoric.

And if the FBI agent doesn't do it for you then theres always your go to guy for the news and current events..Bill Maher.

It's been only white kids that have shot up schools, so don't be so naïve as to think a white kid wouldn't have been treated in the same manner.
The only difference is that you would have been OK with it, and he would have never received an invite to the White House by Obamao.

From your link:
Quote:I do believe that he should have been detained and if he did not answer questions properly and openly, arrested.
How many times can you say "its a clock...not a bomb. I am an honor student at this school in a class where we build things"? Apparently for over an hour...without a parent being notified or being allowed to contact anyone.
They never evacuated the school...they did nothing to act like they thought it was a danger. EXCEPT to take a kid into a room and interrogate him.

Why did he show it to his engineering teacher?
How does that play into their evil plot?
The more of your posts I read the more I believe that you are biased against Muslims. Do you blame women who wear sexy clothes if they get raped?
