What the fuck broader explanation do you need than “it’s a clock. For time keeping. Like clocks do.”

Yeah... cause the only racist place in America is Texas. WOOHOO WE FIXED AMERICA EVERYBODY.

I hope he isn’t discouraged from his interests. And these people accuse Muslims of extremism...

-Because it was a clock

I would have really loved for some bomb disposal guy to be all “So a kid in a NASA T-Shirt builds a clock and you call me to check if it’s a bomb? Fuck you for wasting my fucking time, dipshits.”

I think that statement has something to do with the fact that Ahmed’s father is somewhat known locally for having at one point had a debate with a local pastor who burned the Quran. What is terrifying about that is that the local police knew who the kid was because they are apparently monitoring the family of the…

If I was a teacher and I thought someone brought a real, actual bomb to school, I sure as shit wouldn’t confiscate it and then keep it in my possession. Holding onto a bomb is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard of. Which just goes to show that nobody actually thought it was a bomb.

I hate you and your ass face—that movie is a goddamn treasure!

A movie bomb? Did it have Glitter on it?

They can’t interrogate a minor without the parents being present. If the ACLU wants to take up the case (I think they have) and SUE the effin’ school, police dept. and everybody else involved in this ridiculousness, I hope they do and they WIN.

That’s not a movie bomb. THIS is a movie bomb.

Ahmed is well within his right to grow up to be a supervillain. This school completely failed him and their behavior was absolutely disgraceful. It was a clock and he was wearing a NASA shirt for fuck’s sake!

Hell, attacking a guy from the FRONT for trash talking a sports team is being an asshole.

My point is that trigger warnings allow students to know if material might be triggering so they can make appropriate arrangments (like making an appoint with their therapist, or giving themselves some extra time Tuesday night to do the assignment), and I don’t see what’s wrong with this.

I don’t see how telling students that there is material that may be triggering, but still requiring them to do the work, allows students to “avoid” triggering material.

Now that I’ve read his clarification, the 49ers fans are still terrible, terrible people who belong in jail, and the Vikings fan is still an innocent victim.

Just because someone is asking for it doesn’t mean you should give it to them.
