Ahmed Mohamed brought to school a homemade digital clock, a circuit board wedged inside a pencil case. His English teacher got alarmed when the clock beeped inside his backpack and Ahmed was detained by authorities.The mistaken arrest culminated with a tweet from President Obama on the matter.

He did not make the clock. he bought a vintage one on ebay then disassembled it

The school has a greater obligation to take care of the safety of all the other students than they do not offending a kid who's religion has a history of blowing lots of people up. 0:18 is a rehearsed answer. There is a lot more to this story that what appears on the surface.

One of my friends who goes to MacArthur says that the teacher who took this clock and gave to Principle for him to deal with and followed federal law of school safety act, and is now receiving death threats... the teacher's sister is married to a Muslim man.. i bet this family is sitting around laughing being like wow yea we are all such islamophobes... islamophobia is real and nasty this is not the case... why wont boy and family meet with school admin and police to sign papers to allow them to talk about it. Let it be a fair fight. Because now they can't because of privacy act between student and teacher known as FERPA!!!!

The officers should be sent back to police academy and the principal should be fired and write a letter of apology
