Wrong kid, sorry

 

The BBC has an article about an unlucky kid:

Texas police have decided not to charge a fourteen-year-old Muslim boy who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school. Officials at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas alerted police because they thought the device was a "hoax bomb".
Ahmed Mohamed's arrest has been sharply criticized, and the boy has received an outpouring of support, including an invitation to the White House. Ahmed's family believes he was detained because of his name.
"We have always had an outstanding relationship with the Muslim community," Irving Police Department chief Larry Boyd said. "Incidents like this present challenges. We want to learn how we can move forward and turn this into a positive".
The boy was placed in handcuffs and fingerprinted. He was released after it was determined there was no threat.
Under the hashtag #IstandwithAhmed, thousands of Twitter users praised the boy's initiative and questioned why he was detained, including NASA scientists, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and President Barack Obama: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great," Obama wrote on Twitter.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it is investigating the incident.
Ahmed said that he had made a clock at home and brought it to school to show his engineering teacher. He said his engineering teacher had congratulated him, but advised him "not to show any other teachers".
