Seriously? Does the phrase Red Scare ring any bells?
Um.....
translation anyone?
This is a failure of educational policy, not policing.
The police are/were simply doing their jobs. They're required to check out stuff like this.
It's the teacher's fault primarily, and I'm guessing the reason she did that is because there was a policy in place, to that effect.
That policy is the problem, it's institutionalized paranoia, is what it is.
It's the same thing that used to get you questioned for bringing "subversive literature" to school.
The jack*sses in our government think they can control who was the ability to learn things and get smart?
I don't think so. Not in a million gazillion years.
That's why I keep saying, this current establishment needs to go, and quickly too. They're getting stupid. Beyond stupid - they're getting downright dangerous.
Nailed it. Liberalism at its finest.
I do not accept commie propaganda intended to slander the United States as fact. Muslims living in the U.S. have generally been tolerated at least as well as Jews living here, for example.
People who don't understand "tinkerers" always assume the worst.Really don't think this is an ethnic thing.
Have experienced this, although the law didn't get involved.
An arabic kid shows up to school with a briefcase full of wires that looks nothing like a clock and everyone who had anything to do with questioning it is a RACIST! lol
Chill out people, isn't Texas where that workplace violence thing happened with Hasan. It isn't a bomb and now this innocent kid is going to get spoiled like crazy, including a trip to the White House, and good for him!
You can't say liberals aren't compassionate. I mean, it takes a heart of gold and real moral courage to crucify a teacher for reporting suspicious activity in the form of a suitcase filled with wires and a small digital clock attached to it?
Lol. You see folks...it takes a police state to enforce multiculturalism. You cant have one without the other. Thats one of its primary missions..to foster distrust.
It's not that they asked him what it was, that's completely reasonable to investigate, the problem is that even after they determined it was a harmless clock, they arrested him then suspended him. How is that a rational position and why would you defend such a thing?
Once again, you are incredibly misinformed about the situation. Nobody says they shouldn't have looked at it. It was their reaction once they found out it was harmless that was atrocious.
What police state? All I see is a ridiculous overreaction from an islamophobic and ignorant state. I mean what are you suggesting here? Should we have the military throw out all Americans who aren't white conservative Christians so we don't have any multiculturalism problems? Multiculturalism requires you to mind your own business and respect the rights of your neighbor, it's the exact opposite of needing force.

Who determined that? You expect an average teacher or cop to know how to design a bomb?

This is an unfortunate side effect of the overreaction seen toward Middle Eastern peoples, and specifically Muslims due to the perceived danger posed by their very existence. There is a new racism in western countries toward everything Middle Eastern and Islamic...I admit to having a bit of it myself.
Oh man.... You can't be serious, right?
If a ****ing clock counts as probable cause we are all screwed.
bull**** "zero tolerance" policy, if this was a white kid hillary and obama wouldn't have said ****.
They don't want you building bombs unless you have a security clearance.
God.... Prohibition rears its ugly head.... again!
Terrorists are the new commies. Wonder who's going to be the new McCarthy?
When I was a kid, I built some shady ****. A little knowledge of physics and chemistry go a long way. Thankfully, no chargers have been brought, but it shouldn't have come to that. Kids well versed in science, math, and engineering should be encouraged.

Do you think that a White Christian named George would have been treated like this?
:lol:
We've had shoe bombs and underwear bombs, why aren't students arrested for wearing those items?
This was made for a school robotics club, how many other members of this club do you belive where able to make things with wires without being arrested?
I did as well, but 99/100 times nothing bad happens.
Still though, compare the Mr.Wizard chemistry of the 50's and 60's to today.
Modern hobby chemistry sets are a joke and merely possessing lab ware is enough reasonable suspicion for LEOs.
well, his demographic is known for exploding while carrying clock-like objects rather more often than other demographics, per capita.

Probably. I remember in High School I had things like the Anarchists Cookbook, the Poor Man's James Bond. I built flaming tennis ball launchers, found a way to make an exploding tennis ball in Jr. High which me and my friends snuck into the basket of the tennis team during practice. That was hilarious. Those are probably the least of the things I made.
In today's age, that's a trip to GITMO.
