Wow, a trip to the White House and NASA for bringing a "clock" to school that looks like a stereotypical briefcase bomb from any number of action movies over the years.

Surprised he didn't go all out and shape the clock like an actual bomb...

And of course the PC / SJW crowd is lapping this story up because it checks all the boxes... poor oppressed Muslim kid from conservative Texas gets stereotyped by his teacher and has a rough encounter with "The Man" as a result, ending in a suspension.  Nevermind the fact that literally hundreds of kids have gotten suspended for WAY less thanks to "zero tolerance" policies implemented in our schools by the very PC crowd that's currently lauding this kid and using him to advance their own agendas.

There is always that one person who says this kinda stuff....this is why we cant have nothing nice in this country.


Let's be honest, if this happened to a non-Muslim kid, no one who bat an eye over it.

schools are so uptight these days about everything, of course it could happen to anyone.

Yeah but they wouldn't have had the same coverage.

My main complaint is at the concept of a 14 year old muslim. When are people gonna realize indoctrinating your kids is fucked up. You don't really decide on your metaphysical worldview until you're about 18-20 on average.

I'd say complementary trips (courtesy of we the taxpayers of course) to the White House and NASA are pretty nice.  Too bad the 7 year old kid who got suspended over a "gun shaped" pop tart didn't get the same royal treatment...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm 110% sure the authorities would have done the same had he not been Muslim. Definitely. No doubt about it.

Exactly.  Of course, had he not been a Muslim, 110% Obama would NOT be asking him to visit at the White House.

That's bad :/
I'm glad it turned out well for the kid though.

Since 9/11 there has been an ongoing war on terror. The authorities were right in this situation and they acted within the law. It looked like a bomb and the right actions were taken to prevent a catastrophe.

Was it really necessary to handcuff the kid? Good for him for getting to go to the White House. Suck on those apples to the haters.
