True. But that does not rule out an ethnic bias. No period.
It's really irrelevant if it is happening to many. As I noted, one can find many instances where the school or authorities took things too far and they aren't just Muslims. Blacks, whites, Christians, etc.

Again perhaps true. But that does not rule out an ethnic bias. Historically black kids have far more trouble with schools and police even after you correct for economic factors.

Is there a correction for things like 2 parent families or racism of those enforcing the rules?
If you want to know Ahmed Mohamed — not the hoax bomb suspect or the vindicated celebrity, but the motormouth kid with a schoolbag full of inventions and a head full of questions — ask a teacher.
Ask at Sam Houston Middle School, where the boy from Sudan mastered electronics and English, once built a remote control to prank the classroom projector and bragged of reciting his First Amendment rights in the principal’s office.
It’s also the school where Ahmed racked up weeks of suspensions, became convinced an administrator had it in for him and — before he left for the high school where he turned famous — prompted Irving ISD to review claims of anti-Muslim bullying.
So This was just some ridiculous story about some kid being kicked out of school, and led away in handcuffs mind you, for bringing a disassembled clock to school
So this time it wasn't some white kid with Pot Tart gun. . .of which you posted how ridiculous and PC the world has become. Death to the school! Or some man banned from Chuck-E-Cheeze for an AK47 strapped to his back.
Nope - this time its the school that needs defended. . .What a bunch of flippin' hypocrites.
I think that a reasonable individual can say that what Ahmed did was essentially trolling and trying to get a rise out of people. The school went apesh*t and then out came the "oh poor me I'm being profiled".
THis would have died out long ago but no....instead he gets invited to the Whitehouse etc. which then made it political.
After that everyone lined up on their predictable sides of the argument and NO FURTHER INFORMATION will ever change their opinions.
I am currently withholding my final opinion until I hear both sides but seems we won't get to hear the schools version of events unless it comes out in court which will be a long time from now.
As it stands only someone really politically invested would equate bringing what was clearly intended to get a rise out of people with things like pop-tart guns or getting suspended for taking an aspirin etc.
Now you're telling us a hypothetical Texas law would supersede the Federal educational privacy act
Find a different excuse for why the Clockboy Family refuses to let the school make its records on the incident public.
There is no form in the federal law and it would not apply to police. This is a local matter...not a federal one.
The family may try to make a federal case...likely some violation of civil rights...But it is not a federal form standing in the way of school disclosure.
Hopefully somewhere along the line someone will ask the family or the school what it is that is preventing disclosure. Brietbart's version is poppycock.

More not ascribed hearsay.
Could be true. I am not at all convinced the kid is real smart either.
But if that was known I would have expected the high school to approach the kid cautiously.
