Family of Muslim teen arrested for homemade clock files federal lawsuit

[Gerald]

The family of a Muslim boy who was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to his Texas school filed a federal lawsuit Monday against school officials and others, saying the incident violated the 14-year-old's civil rights, prompted death threats and forced the family to leave the United States.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ahmed Mohamed, who was arrested at his suburban Dallas high school in September and charged with having a hoax bomb. He says he brought the homemade digital clock to school to show his English teacher.

To manufacture a bomb is easy today and it's been a relatively long time, partly with the Internet as a database for drawings.But I hope that your future will be better Ahmed, and that you do not end up in so-called "gladiator schools".
