Do the zombies who get their news from the usual leftist news outlets understand that this was a hoax? None of Ahmed’s teachers would have been impressed by his ability to use a screwdriver to disassemble an old clock. The only reason he took the clock’s innards to school, and the only reason he set the clock’s alarm to go off while he was in class, and the only reason he refused to answer questions about the clock, was to provoke reactions that he and his family could label Islamophobic.
Well this is from one of many very similar op/eds on the incident:
Kid clock maker Ahmed Mohamed wasn’t naive; the adults were paranoid

The police chief of Irving, Texas, says a young Muslim teenager’s humiliation and arrest for bringing a homemade clock to school was the result of “a naive accident,” presumably on the youth’s part.
If so, how very sad.
Have we really reached the point where a mechanically inclined 14-year-old boy is naive for making something extremely clever and wanting to show his teachers? Should Ahmed Mohamed have said to himself: “Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t take this great homemade clock to school because I’m Muslim and my last name is Mohamed and some nervous adult might think it’s a bomb”? No. The problem here is adult paranoia, not youthful naivete.
If you listen to Chief Larry Boyd’s statement to reporters, he’s still in blame-the-kid mode.
“It certainly was suspicious in nature,” he says of the clock.
