Federal Judge Tosses 'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed's Discrimination Lawsuit
Yahoo News ^ | 5-19-2017 | Ryan Grenoble

A federal judge in Texas has dismissed a discrimination lawsuit brought by Ahmed Mohamed, the 9th grader who was arrested in 2015 for bringing a clock to school.

U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay on Thursday ruled the boy failed to prove discrimination, according to CBS News. The judge gave the teen’s legal team until June 1 to file an amended complaint against Irving Independent School District, high school principal Daniel Cummings and the city of Irving.

Ahmed gained national attention in 2015, when he brought an alarm clock he had built to his Dallas-area high school. Rather than applaud the boy’s smarts, school administrators accused Ahmed of trying to “make a bomb” and had him arrested.

A photo of the bewildered 14-year-old at the school, handcuffed and wearing a NASA T-shirt, went viral at the time:

They keep reporting that he “built an alarm clock” which is in error. He simply took the cover off one and put it in a pencil box.

What??? Say it isn’t so. Obama said that Ahmed built a cool clock. It was cool, and Obama used this incident to say how we need to encourage our young people to build devices adn study science, or some such pablum.

This case really shows what a crazy situation we have. We are allegedly supposed to “see something, say something”. But if you see something, and say something and the target of your seeing something is part of a recognized minority or grievance group, then YOU are the one who faces problems. Glad this horse blank lawsuit is done with.

Is that family back in America? I think they went to the middle east for a while/?

The poster child of contrived race-baiting drama. I don’t blame the kid, it’s the idiotic father who is a political hack from back in the old country.

This story is fake news. As you pointed out, he did not invent, or build an alarm clock, he merely took the cover off a Radio Shack alarm clock and put it in a brief case.

He was told to put the clock away, but disobeyed his teacher. He was not accused of making a bomb, he was scaring people and creating a disturbance. Big difference. The story was picked up by the lying media and used to enhance the poor, mistreated US Muslim narratie.

Family had to pay attorney fees for the defense against this frivolous law suit.

It feels so good that sanity is back now that Obama is gone.

Winning is good.

Perfect. There’s a good dose of sanity.

This kid put together something vaguely resembling a bomb and brought it to school. For him, or his parents, to assume it was not a safety concern is BS. Glad Irving ISD took competent steps to ensure safety.

Sue the kid’s family for the Irving’s legal expenses.

For all we know, it was a prototype laptop battery bomb. If his creation was an alarm clock in some eyes, well maybe it was a laptop bomb in my eyes. That kid will be working for ISIS someday if he already isn't.

Too bad, kid. Your male parent’s scheme to get recognition and to help bammy’s effort failed. This event happened at that exact same moment that bammy was starting to bring in his million muzzies, and was calculated to get sympathy for muzzies and to force all us evil Christians to feel ashamed of ourselves.
Failed.
