Quote:I'm currently arguing with someone on Facebook who is asking why Ahmed built a clock that looks like a bomb and brought it to school, and why, of all things, a Muslim would be interested in making a digital clock. I'm currently blasting him, but there is one relevant point here:

 

If the physics teacher he showed it to in the morning thought it looked like something that a reasonable human being would mistake for a bomb, why didn't that teacher tell Ahmed to leave the clock there for the day?

 

Pretty much.  "Why don't you let me keep that in the classroom until the end of the day, and then you pick it up.  I might even show it to some of my other students if you don't have a problem with it."


That's how most teachers I know would be (and I know quite a few teachers)


Also QUESTION:


Why didn't they evacuate the school?  Because apparently they didn't.
