42. A clock is a clock unless it's in a suitcase from Amazon.com

I agree. When I first saw this story break, I got very upset that a school and police department was profiling a Muslim kid for bringing in a homemade clock. However, after my own knee-jerk reaction, I realized that he did not make anything at all, certainly nothing to garner the attention of all the media. What was worse was the background of his father which made the entity of clock-gate seem to be scripted in that his father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, has quite a political background. He unofficially ran for President of Sudan and was involved in the Koran burning incident with Terry Jones back in 2012 in Florida. It's not much to think that this would be orchestrated for personal gain. When I was a kid, I made all kinds of things from bits and scraps and it was nothing special. So to me, it stinks clear that this was a staged event. Nothing was invented except for this event. I imagine most people who also had a knee-jerk reaction to a teen in a NASA tee-shirt being handcuffed, had another when they realized they were duped. Reports state that his family asked for him to remain in cuffs for media pictures. Racial profiling is big problem in the United States so it is understandable that we reacted the way we did, especially the President. But still, even after all this, it still reeks...

And so, the family will move to Qatar...We will still have STEM
