Family of ‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed Mohamed files lawsuit against former school

Nearly one year after 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for bringing a “suspicious-looking” homemade clock to class, his family has filed suit against his former Texas school district, the principal of the high school and the city of Irving.

The lawsuit filed Monday claims that Ahmed’s civil rights were violated in the incident that made the 9th grader go viral last September.

Accusations of racial and religious profiling fueled the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed. Even President Obama chimed in on Twitter, telling the boy: “We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.”

The charge — possession of a hoax bomb — was dropped, but MacArthur High School suspended Ahmed for three days.

Is he suing for $400M in small, foreign bills?

>>Try to tell a jury that was not meant to look like a bomb.

That’s what the school’s lawyer should do. Bring in four suitcases with disassembled clocks and one with a Hollywood-style bomb and one with a real bomb (with inert explosives, of course) and ask the jury to figure out which is the bomb in less than 20 seconds.

As the ones who chose wrong if they want the rest in their kids’ school.

You can sue. It doesn’t mean you are going to win. Too many people in the jury pool have had it with this crap.

This may be good news. If they bring a lawsuit, can’t the school then release all the details of Clockmed’s behavior that day?

Yes. Posing him in from of the “Islamic center of (fill in the blank)” is a pretty bold statement for those who are paying attention.

And where is the lawsuit from the parents of the kid that bit a cookie and because what was left of a cookie looked like a gun was suspended?

This is just ridiculous. The lawsuit should be thrown out, or the school should sue the parents for intimidation and assault in the form of legal threat.

When the little genius goes to a prestigious school and fails miserably, I’m sure he’ll blame his high school’s oppression and racism against him, too. Oh wait, that won’t happen, some high-placed DemonRat will pull strings to have him forcibly passed. When he can’t hold an engineering job, he’ll wind up working the front desk of an islamic community center.

Time to bring back those charges.
