They do start 'em young...
Dallas Morning News ^ | September 16. 2015 | Avi Selk

Ahmed Mohamed — who makes his own radios and repairs his own go-kart — hoped to impress his teachers when he brought a homemade clock to MacArthur High on Monday.

Instead, the school phoned police about Ahmed’s circuit-stuffed pencil case.

So the 14-year-old missed the student council meeting and took a trip in handcuffs to juvenile detention. His clock now sits in an evidence room. Police say they may yet charge him with making a hoax bomb — though they acknowledge he told everyone who would listen that it’s a clock.

In the meantime, Ahmed’s been suspended, his father is upset and the Council on American-Islamic Relations is once again eyeing claims of Islamophobia in Irving.

Send Ahmed Mohammed back to Krapistan and let him wire up his “experiments” there.

Regardless of his inquisitiveness, I’d call this “Precursor Interest and Training.”

Couple this with his family’s background and the stated political desire of his father (e.g., returning to mother wherever to run for President), and I don’t find the reactions of the school authorities one bit over reactionary.

Is this the same city where they just voted not to have that Sharia compliant court thing?

Ya know, in the early 70’s in Junior High School, we MADE things that BLOW UP IN SCHOOL!, intentionally to make sure ALL the Students were careful not to Blow themselves up. The most fun was Shop Class, Every Semester we Made Acetylene Balloon Bombs and LIT THEM to demonstrate what would happen if you left the gas on your torch on!

The kid’s story just doesn’t make sense to me. He wanted to impress his teachers about his skills but didn’t show it to a teacher until she heard it? A kid who wanted to do a project would usually tell a teacher beforehand and THAT specific teacher would have known when he was going to bring it in. FWIW.. the whole “Islamaphobic” stuff is bull. My own kids had to show a cardboard sword wrapped in aluminum foil to the Security guard (a prop for a Shakespeare play in Honors English). All schools are concerned about weapons/suspected weapons from white/black/asian/hispanic/fill in the blank... it’s not ONE group.

Texas has developed an overabundance of law enforcement. I would estimate we have a third again more than we can justify.
They keep inventing new things to do ( things they used to do like sitting with lights on behind someone changing a tire on a rainy night they now outright refuse to do) and it’s easy for groups like the teachers union or BATF to draw them into any sort of craziness.

Ahmed’s father is upset and the Council on American-Islamic Relations eyeing claims of Islamophobia in Irving, Texas.

Texas has the first Sharia Court, triumphal mosque, and Asian Immersion School in the US. How'd that happen?

Circa 2003: then-Gov Rick Perry advances Muslim
teachings; builds mosque; sets up Texas Sharia Court

Then-Gov Rick Perry signs agreement with the Aga Khan--Muslim leader.

“It is a great honor to be in the presence of the Imam of 16 million Muslims around the world, a global humanitarian leader, a man of peace with a pluralistic vision for people around the world, His Highness, the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims.

Your Highness, on behalf of 23 million Texans, and over 600,000 thousand Muslims living in Texas, I extend our heartfelt appreciation for your 50 years of great international leadership."

"We are delighted to welcome you to the Lone Star State and participate in the celebration of your Golden Jubilee. I am also grateful to the many federal, state and local leaders in attendance tonight. By their presence, these special guests convey the profound respect that exists in the Western World for His Highness’ work and leadership.”

In April 2004, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and Univ of Texas-Austin finalized a grant proposal that created the partnership that became known as the Muslim Histories and Cultures Program (MHC).

MHC recruited and directly trained 80 teachers affecting approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography in ten key Texas districts in 2005 and 2006.

The purpose is two-fold 1) to fulfill Governor Rick Perry’s desire to better educate Texas teachers on Muslim topics and 2) to train teachers to use a cultural lens approach to understanding other cultures.

GOVERNOR'S OFFICE: Governor Perry was instrumental in getting this program off the ground (and was helpful in getting a triumphal mosque built in Texas, and placing Sharia Law in the Texas justice system). ####

Sure that’s true, but when it’s the death cult of islam we’re talking about, eternal vigilance is required.

I dont believe the kid was doing this spontaneously for one second.

His dad is an overt terrorist sympathizer.

Why are these people even in our country in the first place?

The people who allowed that are guilty of treason.

Are you hard of reading? He did show it to the first teacher and that teacher told him to not show it to anyone else.

Islamophobia: fear of a genocidal cult. Sounds like common sense to me.

Then-Texas Gov Rick Perry showered illegals w/tax benefits, including education tax dollars to educate them in ways to overthrow the US govt.

REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

============================================

REFERENCE--Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire.

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

They are here because the uniparty refuses to enforce our borders.

They choose Texas specifically because La Raza Rick Perry gave them sharia courts.

A lot of idiots on this forum try to gloss over that and every other globalist move Perry has made. They seem sad we finally ran him off.

GRTBR.

Then the first teacher should have confiscated it and told him to get it after the school day. High schools these days are much more wary of items than when I went to school. Ask any Middle Schooler around us if they would EVER bring such a device (unless it was an APPROVED science experiment) and the answer would be no.
