In the US, you can sue anyone for anything for any amount of money. It’s a wonder how he was ever discriminated against in the first place. He’s as American as they come.

But who gets punished? All the kids in the community whose education that money is supposed to be for? If I were on the jury I’d award them something extremely modest, maybe a couple grand.

This is really disappointing to me. I’m sorry but that’s an insane amount of money.

I’m a racist shitbag for thinking you’re dumb for claiming that you hope the school and town both go bankrupt?

You hope they bankrupt the school. I'm speechless. Wow. That will surely help the children.

Hahaha I fucked my sisters future over because we’re moving back to a country where women don’t have rights....because it’s all about ME.

I’m unilaterally team “what happened to this kid was bigotry and shameful”. And it’s even more important now with current climate.\

Actually suing is not his only recourse. So far he has made the national news. Met with heads of business and state - all expenses paid, gotten gifts, gotten future tuition and now his family will move out of country to a middle eastern state where he will be a shame star to the west.

It was only a matter of time before an ambulance chasing lawyer put some asinine lawsuit together.

A few days after 9/11 anniversary, kid brings a suspicious looking contraption to class and, despite warnings to put it away because it looks suspicious, plugs it in and sets off the alarm in class.

Its a negotiation... a ransom? Who the fuck is being kidnapped?

I wonder how bad that NASA shirt smells. Ahmed wears it every fucking day. Instead of 15 million dollars, they should ask for a $100 gift card towards some new t-shirts.

And don’t forget his sisters are being moved to a country where they will be more restricted and insulted than he ever was in Texas. But his sisters potential to be wild leading scientists: fuck them. The son is the star in that family.

I’m starting to think you’re a troll, Sqarr, and I don’t remember you being one.

Shut down the football program? In Texas? Ahahahahahahahaha!

Damn, I wish I got 15 million dollars every time I was arrested. I'd have like 105 million dollars

Can’t get much more American than this.

You really hope they bankrupt the school?

Ha ha ha...PAY UP MOTHERFUCKERS

He deserves some compensation, but $5 million from a school district whose teachers are already apparently dumb as bricks? Even if he wins, it seems like it’ll end up further harming a district full of kids who already deserve a better education than they’re getting. I hope he donates the money back to science…
