And the school should have the authority to keep order with disruptives. But the news I read sounded like he was cuffed and frog marched off. I think schools have abrogated their authority and when they get challenged they zip to the police. You teach in a different setting, but probably have a more informed opinion of this. But it seems to me that schools have gotten heavy handed on the one hand, but are backing off the worst torublemakers (thanks, fed govt). <br /><br />Little Ahmed and family are moving to Qatar, now.

The school police went over the top.
Ah...Baysider,<br /><i>The school police went over the top.</i><br /><br />Ahmed Mohamed has, um, <a href="https://youtu.be/9xk9xA2JADo" rel="nofollow">a bit of a history of disciplinary infractions</a>. That video only scratches the surface. <br /><br />He was using his "clock" to disrupt classes. He wasn't merely showing the "clock" around -- <b>after one teacher earlier in the day had told him not to show the device to others because it might be mistaken for a bomb</b>. <br /><br />Ahmed chose to show the "clock" in every subsequent class. In the last class of the day (English class, probably a large class in a school of 2800 students), he plugged in the "clock" and set the alarm to beep so as to disrupt the class.<br /><br />Furthermore, the parents have refused the release of the police report -- despite many requests from the police to do so.<br /><br />The photo of Clock Boy in handcuffs was staged. He was indeed cuffed (Texas law -- see my comment above in this thread -- but the sister told the police not to remove the cuffs so that she could take a photo of Ahmed in handcuffs.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-73735879335029151872015-10-20T04:25:18.095-05:002015-10-20T04:25:18.095-05:00Ed,

And of course the MSM. This end game invite to the white house makes no sense in a sane world. It was never presented as a 'science project.' While a 14 year old is NOT a child, he certainly lacked the sense to handle it like a responsible adult. I sense more guile than inventiveness, though. People are too damn sensitive. <br /><br />Back to school police: this case is only one of 100's that hit the news where they have gone over the top. Anyone remember the 12 year olds arrested and strip searched for ... <i>slap butt day</i> in McMinnville? Or the girl suspended for taking Midol for her cramps?
