At least the school did teach this kid a useful lesson: people who are named “Mohamed” should not be trying to invent things.

And as a bonus, Irving ISD is sending a letter to all parents about 14-years old Mohamed’s “suspicious” clock and how it’s his fault ! ▻http://www.irvingisd.net/cms/lib010/TX01917973/Centricity/Domain/9/ParentLetter_SuspiciousLookingItematMacArthur.pdf

Several people testified on the social networks that they did the same while at school and were congratulated and not arrested. But they were named Bob or John.

Being named Steve instead of Ahmed isn’t completely safe: ▻http://uk.businessinsider.com/steve-wozniak-in-jail-fake-bomb-2011-10
