read all the comments before yours before you decided to tag DU as being filled with reactionary imbeciles. There are plenty of people who see this an entirely different way than what you're saying. If you're going to make a blanket statement like that, be sure you're right next time.

He put together parts to work as a clock, that his teacher knew functioned as a clock, pnwmom Nov 2015 #33

It's a FACT that they knew it was a clock -- he had shown his teacher and the school knew -- pnwmom Nov 2015 #43

that teacher also told him to keep it in his backpack because it looked like a bomb BlueStateLib Nov 2015 #53
