Ahmed is not going back to MacArthur — he’s transferring to another school, said family spokesperson Omair Siddiqi of the Dallas-Forth Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a non-profit advocacy organization that has been helping the family handle media calls.Read more: http://fox2now.com/2015/09/17/clock-making-teen-transferring-to-another-school/

tavernier (2,248 posts) 20. The police chief was interviewed last nightand said that the boy heard the exact opposite of what the officer had said. I'm not defending the stupid actions here: The child's parents should have been called immediately. Obviously they didn't think it was a bomb on inspection, at which point they should have released him and still called the parents. I think any parent would understand why this would be a concern in a school these days, and the whole thing could have been handled reasonably and intelligently. If we label every cop a racist, it's as bad labeling every Muslim a terrorist.
