Students at Ahmed Mohamed’s Irving, Texas high school have rallied to support the Muslim teenager, after school officials and police had him arrested for bringing a home-made clock to school.

Since his arrest, students tweeted a school-wide plan to bring clocks to school today and tell the teachers it was in solidarity with their classmate.

Some students said they would leave the clocks at the doorway of the principal who called the police on Ahmed.

MacArthur High School principal Daniel Cummings is still standing by the decision to racially profile the 14-year-old freshman, saying in a letter to parents: “While we do not have any threats to our school community, we want you to be aware that the Irving Police Department responded to a suspicious-looking item on campus yesterday. Please rest assured that we will always take necessary steps to keep our school as safe as possible.”
