what? he's a 14 yr old kid who's proud of what he made. of course he's gonna show it off.
He's a 14 year old kid that actually didn't make anything and was told not to show it to others because he might get in trouble and ignored that statement. I suspect the teacher knew he was going to be disruptive (probably based on previous behavior), and really should have held onto the clock until the end of the day to prevent an issue. Does the reaction seem overblown: yes. Does that actually mean we can call it a 100% inappropriate response without knowing all the details and the kid's behavioral history: no.
what do you mean he didn't make anything? shit, as a 23 yr old i couldn't wire a circuit board to anything to save my ass lol. also i like how you're trying to say that we can't draw conclusions based on not knowing his behavioral history but you're over here willy nilly saying things about how he must have been intentionally disruptive. i've seen nothing suggesting either way that he was more or less disruptive than your average kid.
He unscrewed the case to a clock and shoved the components in a pencil box. No wiring at all. Here's a video showing what he did: My point is that it could go either way and generally things don't get such a response for no reason.what do you mean he didn't make anything? shit, as a 23 yr old i couldn't wire a circuit board to anything to save my ass lol.

Enh ok so he didn't reinvent the wheel. still better than your average 14 yr old i'd argue no reason except...racism and islamophobia?
Possibly, or maybe he was truly a disruptive presence in the school. People love to jump on the outrage wagon, though, so the media plays it up. The true test will be in whether or not there's a lawsuit and the outcome of that. I haven't read anything that suggests the parents are going to sue, which also sounds fishy to me. Sounds like they'd get a nice settlement to me as the district wouldn't want to go to court if they couldn't show the kid had behavioral problems.
We've reached the eye of the circlejerk. Nigga I'm not even gonna touch that quote, I just want you to look at it again. If they were that fucking scared they wouldn't have kept it around and in police cars and near teachers and without an evacuation of any kind. You're reaching so hard trying to jerk yourself off with your devil's advocate garbage that you're going to break your pelvis.Only by insisting that the administration reacted due to racism makes this a race issue.
