Then check Daily Beast for the interview, as well as the other links from the google searches. You can argue the validity of the suspension, but it is a matter of public record. She definitely did get suspended for a bomb threat, according to her own words.

The part about the sister is definitely true. Just search “Eyman Mohamed bomb threat”. I believe it was a Daily Beast interview

His sister was suspended for making bomb threats at her school.

And to be clear, I absolutely think he is entitled to damages. Just not that amount.

Lol. I don’t think anybody seriously labelled him a terrorist. You know what the defense is going to say? What are his damages when he was invited to the white house, vindicated by the media, given several scholarship opportunities, and sent tons of free electronics from companies like Microsoft.

It depends. If the amount is too ridiculous, the message sent is “I’m just doing this for publicity.” Even if he is serious about filing a lawsuit, nobody is going to take seriously an amount that is too far above what they believe their actual liability is.

He was not thrown out of school. But facts don’t matter when you’re so emotional about the percieved“injustice” huh?

Watch the greed, kid. Backlash is a cruel mistress.

His whole family is moving to Qatar so he can go to school there.

His family announced they would be moving to the middle east so the boy could fulfill his potential. They are offered free tuition, gifts etc.

He is not “all Muslim people.” He is one person, in one tiny school district, in one tiny police district.

I don’t. It’s an exorbitant amount. He should get something a bit more proportionate to the suffering he has experienced.

Fuck that. This was the best thing that ever happened to this kid, and he was in no way ‘damaged’ to the point of 15 million dollars.

he won’t, and now the kid looks like a money-grubbing asshat.

I am starting to feel this way, too. It’s looking more and more like a circus/money grab by his father.

A green card means that you’ve been granted permanent resident status, which means that you have indefinite permission to live and work in the US. The big difference between permanent residency and citizenship (other than some voting rights and stuff which aren’t really relevant to this situation) is that permanent…
