Like I said, and your post confirms it: modern America is nuts and anti-initiative. You are a perfect example.

The fact that you don’t see the problem is sad.

Sorry. You are still wrong. The kid showed no initiative. He was “anti-common sense. He came into school with something he claims was a science project, but was not.
He didn’t build a clock. He took one apart for the purpose of making a briefcase look like a bomb. The timer went off in the middle of class. At that point I am sure the teacher had had enough and decided that his little joke was going to be met with consequences.
No teacher in the world would have reported the kid if he came to class and immediately showed and explained just what his project was. He most likely
So please stop pretending to be protecting the intellectual curiosity of our youth.
They’re kids. They can and will be little bastards from time to time. They’re not angels.

I thought roostercogburn’s reply to you was quite even handed & polite. Why can’t you agree to disagree w/out being rude? Also I normally would think what they did was too harsh,but unfortunately the world we live in has made reasonable people paranoid. And for good reason. As long as we are targeted by Muslim terrorists people will be looked at w/ suspicion. Is it fair? Probably not, but many people now err on the side of caution simply for the sake of safety & survival.
