Short Answer:

I think that this story about a boy who made his own alarm clock shouldn't have raised as many concerns. Yeah, the clock looked like a bomb, but he didn't intend to raise any concerns, he is just a very bright student that likes to create and fix things. I personally think that his ability to create things out of different objects is really cool and creative. I don't think that the issue would have been as much of an issue if the Ahmed was white. People probably assume that since he's a muslim, he has to be doing something wrong, which he wasn't. Not all muslims are terrorists or want to hurt people! I think that the school officials who did this should be punished, but not fired. If I was a teacher, I would be concerned if a student brought a bomb look-alike to school, no matter the race. I think they we're just trying to be safe, although the extremity of the situation was uncalled for. No, I don't think that the boy should be compensated for this action in particular, but I feel like he should be rewarded for his amazing ability to create these creative objects. This in a way showed people what he is capable of creating.
