On Monday September 14th a freshman from Irvin, Texas was arrested and sent to juvenile detention after bringing a clock that he made to school and it being misconstrued as a bomb. Ahmed Mohamed a Muslim 14 year old who has a passion for robotics brought a homemade clock made out of a pencil case and a circuit board to school to impress his teachers. Ahmed was taken to the principles office later that day to be threatened with expulsion. He was out of juvenile detention with no charge but his story caught the attention of the media and even made it to the white house. People are upset about the stereotyping as well as the jump to conclusion that was a completely innocent act of a young, innocent boy.
