You can’t do this stuff and expect to still be a country for much longer.

I did read it. To give even more contex than you did, it says:

It was Friday, Sept. 11, the 14th anniversary of the most devastating foreign military attack in history on the U.S. mainland.

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was sitting in his Irving, Texas, English class when an alarm went off inside a briefcase the youngster had with him.

When he opened the briefcase to turn off the alarm his teacher went to inspect the device, which did not look like a “clock,” but more like a homemade improvised explosive device – the kind of contraption that would never make it, for instance, through a TSA airport check.

The article says that the incident happened on September 11. It did not. It happened on September 14.

If it didn’t have a battery (based on picture), then the only way the alarm could go if is if he plugged it into an outlet in his english class. Makes me think he wanted that alarm to go off.

On Sept 11? I didn’t know that

It wasn't Sept 11... It was Sept 14. The poster was trying to make a parody and posted bad, incorrect information.

Thanks for clarifying

It looks like the original source claimed it was the 11th ..exactly why the writer did that is not clear

The media has gone silent on it, but I don’t watch much.

No way could he get into an engineering school if his “clock” is proof of his “brilliance” what a joke! I hope these schools feel like idiots now that the facts of the “homemade clock” are out there.
