14 Year Old Muslim Boy ‘Wrongly Arrested’ For Bringing Homemade Clock To His School, Gets invited to the White House by Obama

Ahmed Mohamed, 14 is an innovative and creative young lad as he crafted a homemade clock and excitedly brought it to his school in Texas to show his engineering teacher.
Unfortunately for him, his teachers at MacArthur High School did not buy into his invention as the school officials alerted police because they thought the device was a “Hoax Bomb” after it made a beep noise.
When the clock was discovered, he was removed from his class, interviewed by teachers and then placed in juvenile detention. The Police was also called to intervene.
When the Men in Black arrived, they immediately arrested 14 year old Ahmed while handcuffs were placed on him and fingerprinted.
His arrest has been criticized by people all around the world using the Hashtag – #IstandwithAhmed
During a press conference, Ahmed explained that he plans to transfer to a new school and tells the story in his own words

“I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. I’m very sad that she got the wrong impression of it.”

Ahmed’s father who is originally from Sudan had this to say:

“He’s a very smart, brilliant boy and he said he just wanted to show himself to the world.”

Other family members are claiming Ahmed was arrested because of his name. An accusation which has been denied by the Police.

While the story is certainly appalling , there’s a bright side, Ahmed has been invited to the White House by President Obama!

Obama tweeted : "Cool clock Ahmed. Want to Bring It to The White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great."
