The Ahmed Mohamed clock incident occurred when 14-year-sometime Ahmed Mohamed was arrested on September 14, 2015, at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, for bringing a disassembled digital clock to schoolhouse. The incident ignited allegations of racial profiling and Islamophobia from many media sources and commentators.

The episode arose when Mohamed reassembled the parts of a digital clock in an 8-inch (xx cm)[1] pencil container and brought it to schoolhouse to show his teachers. His English teacher thought the device resembled a flop, confiscated it, and reported him to the principal. The local police were chosen, and they questioned him for an hour and a half. He was handcuffed, taken into custody without permission to meet his parents, and transported to a juvenile detention facility, where he was fingerprinted and a mug shot photo was taken. He was then released to his parents. According to local police, the reason for his arrest was because they initially suspected he may accept purposely caused a flop scare. The case was not pursued farther by the juvenile justice authorities, but he was suspended from school.

Following the incident, the constabulary determined Mohamed had no malicious intent, and he was not charged with any law-breaking.[two] [3] News of the incident went viral – initially on Twitter – with allegations by commentators that the actions of the school officials and constabulary were due to their stereotyping of Mohamed based on his Sudanese ancestry and Muslim faith. Afterwards, U.S. President Barack Obama as well as other politicians, activists, engineering science company executives, and media personalities commented nigh the incident. Many of them praised Mohamed for his ingenuity and inventiveness, and he was invited to participate in a number of high-contour events related to encouraging youth interest in science and technology. Although Mohamed was cleared in the final police investigation, he became the bailiwick of conspiracy theories – many of them contradictory, citing no evidence, and alien with established facts – which claimed that the incident was a deliberate hoax.[two] [4]

On November 23, 2015, Ahmed's family threatened to sue the Urban center of Irving and the school district for civil rights violations and physical and mental anguish unless they received written apologies and compensation of $15 million.[5] [6] This lawsuit was dismissed in May 2017 for lack of prove.[seven] The family unit also sued conservative talk prove hosts Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, and another Play a joke on News commentator for lesser amounts on the grounds of defamation of character. Both cases were dismissed with prejudice for First Amendment complimentary voice communication reasons.[viii] In late 2015, his family decided to accept a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation and move to Qatar, partially because of unsupported accusations of terrorist links and continued harassment by conspiracy theorists.[9]

Incident [edit]

Background [edit]

Photo taken past the Irving Police Department of the clock

At the time of the incident on Monday, September 14, 2015, Mohamed was xiv years old and a high schoolhouse freshman. In interviews with local media, Mohamed said that he wanted to show the applied science teacher at school what he had done over the weekend; he had taken apart a clock and rebuilt it inside a pencil case that resembled a minor briefcase.[ten] His begetter, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, said that he had driven him to school that morning and encouraged him to evidence his technological skills.[11]

In an interview on Al Jazeera's Ali Velshi on Target, Mohamed said the clock was "built from scrap effectually the house" and that "some of the boards were already manufactured".[12] He told Larry Wilmore on The Nightly Show that it took him only "10 or 20 minutes" to put it together and that he had congenital more than complicated items in the by simply that the clock was simple, using some parts that were "scrapped off" and so that it was easier.[13] According to the initial report in The Dallas Morning News, he had done this "before bed on Lord's day [September 13, 2015]".[14]

Ralph Kubiak, Mohamed'southward seventh-form history teacher, said that Mohamed was known as an electronics enthusiast with a history of being disciplined for using a handmade remote control to cause a classroom projector to malfunction on command. Mohamed was likewise noted for making a bombardment charger to aid recharge the cellphone of a school tutor.[15] The Dallas Forenoon News commented, "[s]ome of these creations looked much like the infamous clock – a mess of wires and exposed circuits stuffed inside a hinged case, possibly suspicious to some."[sixteen] According to The Guardian, everybody in middle school knew Mohamed as "the kid who makes crazy contraptions" and who fixed electronics classmates brought to him, earning him the nickname "Inventor Kid".[17]

According to the Dallas Morning time News, Mohamed was suspended twice while in middle school, in one case for blowing soap bubbling in the bathroom and another time for defending himself during a fight in the hallway. During that time, Mohamed "was lament of bullying – not only by students, but by staff", reportedly for beingness Muslim. Afterward reviewing a alphabetic character of support from the aforementioned family unit friend and meeting with Mohamed, the school principal overturned that suspension.[16]

Clock and abort [edit]

Mohamed said he brought the clock to school because he "wanted to print all of his teachers".[12] His engineering science teacher, upon seeing the clock said, "That'due south really nice", only advised him to keep the device in his haversack for the rest of the school day.[14] Mohamed, withal, later plugged it in during his English language class and set a time on the clock.[12] When the clock alarm started beeping, the English teacher requested to meet it, and said, "Well, it looks like a bomb. Don't show information technology to anyone else."[eleven] In an interview posted on KXAS-Television receiver (NBC five), Mohamed said he "closed information technology with a cable ... 'cause I didn't want to lock it to brand it seem like a threat, so I simply used a simple cablevision and so it won't look that much suspicious."[18]

After the English teacher confiscated the clock and reported him to the school principal's office, the police were called. The master and a law officer then took him out of class and led him to a room where four other officers were waiting.[14] Law indicated that he was interrogated just in order to analyze his intentions when he brought the clock to school.[2] According to Mohamed, he was not allowed to contact his family during the questioning and he was threatened by the master with expulsion unless he would sign a written statement.[14] After interrogating him for virtually an hour and a half, he was taken out of the schoolhouse in handcuffs and into law custody. Following his arrival at a juvenile detention center, Mohamed was fingerprinted, required to take a mug shot, and further questioned earlier being released to his parents.[2] [19] [20] [21]

Police determined that he had no malicious intent, and he was not charged with any crime.[2] [3] Irving Police Primary Larry Boyd said that "the officers pretty chop-chop determined that they weren't investigating an explosive device", and that Mohammed was arrested over the prospect that it was a "hoax bomb".[22] Under Texas law, it is illegal to possess a "hoax bomb" with an intent to "brand some other believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device" or to "cause [an] alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies."[23] After releasing Mohamed, police continued to question his clock'southward purpose, saying, "He kept maintaining information technology was a clock, but there was no broader explanation."[xiv] [24]

Some of Mohamed's teachers at Sam Houston Middle School were surprised to learn that staff at the loftier schoolhouse chosen police force, as they accept known Mohamed to bring more elaborate devices to their school.[sixteen] His supporters take speculated that the questioning and subsequent transfer past law to a juvenile center exemplifies Islamophobia in the U.s..[ii]

Suspension [edit]

Mohamed was suspended from school for three days.[25] MacArthur Loftier School's director of communications said he was welcome to return later his suspension.[26]

Lawsuits [edit]

His family sent a demand letter on November 23, 2015, proverb they would file a lawsuit if they did not receive $15 meg in fiscal compensation and a public apology from the City of Irving and the Irving Schoolhouse District.[5] He after withdrew from the school.[27]

His family then filed a lawsuit against the City of Irving and the school district on August 8, 2016.[28] [29] The lawsuit alleged that officers racially profiled him and treated him differently on the footing of his race and ethnicity, starting with when "Yep, that'southward who I thought it was," with the implication existence that they expected a pupil with a Muslim name to be the culprit.[30] The lawsuit connected that the officers "pulled A.Thou. forcefully out of his chair, yanked his arms up behind his back and then far that his right paw touched the back of his neck, causing a lot of pain."[31] On May 19, 2017, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, maxim the plaintiff presented no facts demonstrating intentional discrimination confronting Mohamad.[32]

Mohamed Mohamed, on behalf of himself and Ahmed Mohamed, filed a defamation accommodate in Dallas County Commune Court on September 21, 2016.[33] The named defendants were The Blaze, Inc, Glenn Beck, Center for Security Policy, Jim Hanson, Fox Television receiver Stations, LLC, Ben Ferguson, Ben Shapiro, and Beth Van Duyne.[34] Case No. DC-xvi-12579.

In Jan 2017, the judge granted Hanson's and CSP's move to dismiss (releasing TheBlaze, Glenn Brook, Jim Hanson and the Center for Security Policy),[8] and in February 2017 the judge granted Shapiro's motion to dismiss. Legal fees were awarded to the defendants, and an appeal by Mohamed of the dismissals and legal fee awards was denied in 2018.[36]

On March 13, 2018 a federal lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed's father against the Irving Independent School District, the city of Irving, and several specific individuals, was dismissed with prejudice and with the court ordering Mohamed's family to acquit all the costs of the lawsuit.[37] [38] [39]

Firsthand responses [edit]

School district [edit]

School district spokeswoman Lesley Weaver said, "We are never going to take any chances for any of their safety [...] It doesn't matter what child would have brought a suspicious looking particular. We nevertheless would have taken the same actions." She further said "If the family is willing to give the states written permission, we would be happy to share with the public the other side of the story so they can understand the actions nosotros took."[xi]

Irving's mayor [edit]

Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne dedicated the actions of the police and the Irving Independent Schoolhouse Commune, stating that they were following the procedure set when a "potential threat" is discovered.[40] Van Duyne said that from the information she had seen, Mohammed had been "non-responsive" and "passive aggressive" in response to questions from police officers.[41]

Van Duyne said there was one-sided reporting of the interaction between Mohammed and law, saying that they are unable to release records considering Mohammed is a juvenile and his family has refused to let it.[41] Co-ordinate to The Dallas Morning News, Mohamed'south family never received the asking to release his records, because the school district mailed it to the wrong lawyer; the letter was later sent to the correct attorneys.[42]

I didn't do anything wrong. I merely showed my teachers something and I terminate up being arrested later on that solar day."[eleven]

On September xviii, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed appear that his son would either exist transferring to a private school or exist home-schooled.[44] The family has since withdrawn all of their children from schools in the Irving Independent School District, and the male parent said the events emotionally affected his son, who was not eating well and having trouble sleeping. He said, "It's torn the family and makes united states very confused."[45] Though many schools offered to enroll Mohamed, his father said he wanted to requite his son time before making a determination.[45]

The family hired counsel "to pursue Ahmed's legal rights and regain his science project from the Irving Police Section".[46] The police issued a statement maxim that they had fabricated the clock bachelor shortly after the incident and were awaiting pick-upwards past "the student'due south father, or his designated representative".[47] Mohamed eventually got the clock back from the constabulary on October 23 shortly before the family left the The states.[48] [49]

In October 2015, the family unit decided to move to Qatar, where Mohamed connected his education in the capital city Doha with a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education[l] [51] [52] and would nourish Qatar Academy.[53] Mohamed's uncle said some other reason for the family'south leaving the United States was fearfulness caused by all the attacks they received, the conspiracy theories, rumors, and unwarranted accusations of terrorist links.[ix]

The family returned to the Dallas area in June 2016, saying they missed the relatives who had stayed in the U.S.,[54] and they would render to Qatar in the fall.[55] In August 2016, it was reported that Ahmed Mohamed would start tenth grade at Qatar Academy in Doha in September 2016.[56]

On Oct 19, 2015, Mohamed attended the White House Astronomy Night event on the South Lawn of the White House and met with President Obama.[64] [65] [66] The President gave a speech communication to the audience in attendance at the event, saying: "We have to watch for and cultivate and encourage those glimmers of curiosity and possibility, not suppress them, not squelch them."[66] Later his spoken communication, the President talked with Mohamed briefly and hugged him, in addition to looking through a telescope and being placed on a call with the coiffure of the International Infinite Station.[65] [66]

Google invited Mohamed to attend its science fair, urging him to bring the clock along; when he arrived he "received a warm welcome, touring the booths and taking pictures with finalists."[67] [68] Twitter offered him a chance to intern with them.[69] Retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield invited Mohamed to his science show in Toronto.[70]

According to Ahmed's father, the family was invited to the headquarters of the United nations in New York Metropolis where, he said, United Nations officials wanted to meet his son.[45] On September 25, 2015, Ahmed met with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who was in New York attention United nations meetings.[71] He was also invited to the Social Good Height in New York Metropolis,[72] and during his visit, he met with Mayor Neb de Blasio, Metropolis Comptroller Scott Stringer, Public Abet Letitia James, and members of New York City Council[73] on a visit arranged by the NYPD Muslim Officers Society.[74] Afterwards meeting Mohamed, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams tweeted "I'll buy 1 of his clocks!"[73]

After the incident, MacArthur High Schoolhouse's 2015 valedictorian, then in college, wrote that MacArthur High School and the Irving Independent School District were very supportive of her and her beliefs as a Muslim, and that she did not experience whatsoever instances of religious discrimination or Islamophobia.[78]

Opinions [edit]

Politicians [edit]

White House printing briefing on incident

In a debate among 2016 Republican presidential candidates, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said that he did not think that a 14-twelvemonth-one-time should ever exist arrested for bringing a clock to school but defended the police who were "worried about security and prophylactic problems."[79]

Twenty-ix members of the The states Congress, including Asian-American and Muslim members, sent a letter to the U.S. Chaser General at the Department of Justice requesting an investigation of "the civil rights violations that took place during the unjust arrest of Ahmed Mohamed."[lxxx] The letter said "Ahmed was denied his civil rights on numerous occasions every bit he was consistently refused his right to speak with his begetter. Texas Family unit Lawmaking conspicuously states 'a child may non be left unattended in a juvenile processing part and is entitled to be accompanied by the child'southward parent, guardian, or other custodian or by the child'due south chaser.' (Section 52.025)"[81] The letter went on to say that reports about the incident suggested "that Ahmed Mohamed was systematically profiled based on his faith and ethnicity both past the Irving Law Department and MacArthur High Schoolhouse".[81]

White Firm press secretary Josh Earnest said that the incident "is a adept illustration of how pernicious stereotypes can preclude even skilful-hearted people who have dedicated their lives to educating young people from doing the good work that they fix out to practice", and that Mohamed was invited to the White House South Backyard for Astronomy Dark on Oct 19.[threescore] [82]

Media [edit]

Techdirt author Tim Cushing wrote that the Texas "hoax bomb" constabulary Mohamed was defendant under was also loosely worded, as a mere reaction past a public rubber official was enough to fall under it (regardless of whether someone had intentionally meant to cause such a reaction), and that it could theoretically apply to other legitimate devices (such as phones and road flares) because they can "crusade alert or reaction of any type" from a public prophylactic officer. At the same time, he wrote that the schoolhouse itself may have as well violated the same law, every bit they presented the clock to police as potentially being an explosive device.[23]

Rose Hackman of The Guardian stated, "The incident caused international outrage, with critics challenge such drastic handling would never take occurred had the teenager not been Muslim."[83] Writing in The Texas Observer, Patrick Michels said the Irving school district has a history of overly-punitive criminalization of babyhood behavior and similarly called the abort an example of "school-to-prison" thinking. "A child learns in schoolhouse that he'southward a criminal, and he remembers that lesson for the rest of his life", Michels wrote.[84]

The Wall Street Journal commentator James Taranto said he believes what happened to Mohamed is not uncommon; he points to a similar story from 2001 in New Jersey, in which Jason Anagnos, a nine-year-old not-Muslim boy, was arrested, charged and convicted for having brought a imitation bomb along on a gifted-and-talented class field trip.[85] Kyle Smith of the New York Post brought up other cases of schools being overzealous in punishing white children for safe breaches, including a 7-twelvemonth-erstwhile who pretended that his pop tart was a gun and a Due south Carolina teenager who had his locker searched for writing a story about shooting a dinosaur; he added that none of these children received the same level of attention equally Mohamed.[86]

George Takei, the Japanese-American actor who played Sulu on Star Trek, wrote an open letter to Mohamed, offering his support and drawing a parallel between Mohamed'southward experiences and those of the Japanese Americans (including Takei and his family) who were interned in the United States during Globe War II.[87]

Kevin D. Williamson, a correspondent for the bourgeois magazine National Review, argued that the media was pushing a case for exaggerated Islamophobia, "because it tin be used to further a story that the media already want to tell: that the United States is morally decadent and irredeemably racist; that Muslims are under siege; that white privilege blinds the majority of Americans to the corruption at the heart of everything red, white, and blue", stating we now live in a time of "race-hustling and grievance-mongering". He contrasted the high level of media coverage for the incident with that of a lesser-reported incident involving the abort of an eighth-grader for refusing to remove a National Rifle Association T-shirt in class.[88]

Beak Maher said on his HBO series Real Time with Bill Maher that Mohamed deserves an amends merely that his clock "looks exactly similar a fucking bomb."[89] [ninety]

Conspiracy theories [edit]

The Dallas Morning News and other media sources, including The Washington Mail, referred to some comments and claims that emerged in the backwash of the incident as conspiracy theories, reporting that most of them "cited no evidence, contradicted each other, or clashed with known facts".[4] [91] [92] [93] [94] Viral online posts sought to bandage suspicion on Mohamed'south family and Muslim groups that supported Mohamed after his detainment, positing that Mohamed planned to provoke his arrest to embarrass police and speculating the incident was a plot orchestrated by Islamist activists.[four] After reviewing these theories, Avi Selk of The Dallas Morning News wrote: "No theory that The News has reviewed cites any evidence that Ahmed, who routinely brought electronic creations to his center school and said he wanted to impress loftier school teachers, planned to become handcuffed and hit the news" and reported that "a constabulary 'investigation adamant the student patently did not intend to cause alarm bringing the device to school'."[4] Slate observed that at no point did officials exhibit whatsoever concern that the clock was dangerous.[95] The Washington Post and Time also noted that Cyberspace-spawned "conspiracy theories" nigh Mohamed's motivations were partially responsible for his family choosing to leave the U.s..[91] [92]

Terri Burke, executive manager of the ACLU of Texas, stated, "Islamophobia, and probably racism, certainly played a function in Ahmed'southward ordeal, but the fact is overzealous administrators, zero-tolerance policies, and law enforcement officers ill-equipped to deal with schoolchildren have compromised educational environments throughout the state. [...] Ahmed suffered through a terrifying, traumatizing, and unjust ordeal. Nonetheless because of the mass exposure of what he endured, he'southward received invitations to the White House, Facebook headquarters, and the Google science fair. [...] For too many others – the ones whose stories won't go viral – the possibility of the American nightmare remains too real."[97]

According to an article in The New York Observer, the widely circulated photo of Ahmed in handcuffs wearing a NASA T-shirt has brought attention to the topic of Stem instruction (scientific discipline, technology, engineering science, mathematics) in America. "And now, children will be inspired to report Stem thank you to Ahmed's continued interest in it beyond all odds."[98]
