You need to really research what's going on politically in Irving Texas with respect to how Muslims are treated there. I doubt you will, but you should.
Exactly WHAT is there to research? It's pretty straight forward these days considering all of the bomb threats and shootings that have taken place at schools the past 10 years or so across the country. As long as zero tolerance laws are in effect...the events that took place with this kid will continue to happen regardless if you or I think it is stupid or not. That's the reality.
I agree with you that whoever decided to arrest the kid should get a ticket for stupidity, but the reality of how things now work in this day and age dictates otherwise.
Funny guy. Take this situation out of Irving, pretend the guy isn't muslim (to appease comic) and the same series of events more than likely would have taken place.
Kds are getting suspended for making pop tart guns fercripesakes!! This is what we are now faced with. That's the reality.
It's not just the suspension. But also that he was lead away in handcuffs, detained and questioned without his parents. That doesn't happen everywhere when the kid isn't brown or Muslim. But it happened in Irving. And for a reason.
Tell that to the federal government that is trying to classify middle eastern people for census reasons.
Point is, that the kid being muslim had nothing to do with the events that took place. It's actually sad that comic actually went "there"
Bull Spit! Tell me you are not that stupid.
'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

Zero tolerance. Get used to it. More strange happenings in the future will happen. Mickey mouse lunch box is next.
Those were actual violations of the rules, and kissing a girl without permission is actually assault.
The Muslim kid was working on a science project, one his teacher was helping with.

None of those are the same. His intentions were inferred because of his religion. He did not violate any rules or issue any threats, he built a clock.

How many non-muslim kids in Texas do you think are able to walk into school with their science experiments without being arrested?

Are you really this dense? What threat did Ahmed make? I am betting that the teacher made a point of this because of past anti-social behavior.

I've linked several examples of non muslim kids suspended from school or arrested for stupid things. Again. Zero tolerance is the problem. Not religion.
You linked several examples of kids displaying anti-social or questionable behavior. Find me one where one is arrested for doing his homework.

Plays the race card...swim walks across the Lodge.

But to blame "being muslim" for the events that took place with this kid is asinine.

Sure it does. And for just as stupid reasons.

Name me two things that a conservative Texan hates more than Islam and science. This kid was practically begging to go to jail.
That's your assumption. The problem is zero tolerance policies. Not because of his religion.
