This is a hard case. And the schools have made it worse with their institutional lack of common sense, invoking strong-arm tactics on poptart gunners and kissing toddlers and like 'offences'. It makes people want to instantly flog the school administration for yet another knucklehead application of zero tolerance.

The more I think about this the more I get a bad feeling that this was a desensitizing trial run. The kid makes a 'clock' that deliberately gives an impression that is bomb-like to an average person. CAIR and the Islamo-WH are instantly on the case [cf. youtube video and Benghazi 'riots'] and make a huge fuss over how the kid was mistreated.

What might the goal be? What will be a school's reaction to the next kid who brings in such a 'clock' now that they've seen that the WH might come down on them? Well, we've imported tens of thousands of little Achmeds. What will be the reaction when they all show up with 'clocks'? What if even one of the clocks goes boom?

Bingo.

Same here.

The next school administrator will be less likely to act on a similar device, to avoid the potential for embarrassment.

Yup - the teachers now have the message. If it’s a muslim kid, turn a blind eye, or be hauled over the coals for your hate.
