Thread:Comments:Time magazine names Ahmed Mohamed to 'Most Influential Teens of 2015'/Racism against children?! Here comes your corporate and political $ponsor$

It looked like a movie prop of a bomb. It wasn't strange the police were called. It wasn't strange he was arrested. It was strange his "parents" allowed him to bring that to school. It was strange he received special treatment afterwards solely based on the color of his skin/religious background. These political figures and company leaders then used him as a pawn in a weird game of "who's the least racist/most supportive of education/wants cheap publicity". My parents wouldn't let me take a homemade clock to school (especially in 2015) without at least a warning to the teachers/principals first. Its called consideration/being active in your kids life. Something that gets no praise in 2015. You can be a naive person. You can be a parent. You can't be a naive parent. This kid either has no parents that are watching or caring what he does or they had a hunch this stunt would make them celebrities overnight and open the door to sue the school district for being "racist". In the end what did all the pandering towards him and his family accomplish? Helped the boy make the decision to leave the US and move to Qatar... Well his family made the decision to say that it was their son's decision. You get the point.
