Arrested for building a clock

On Wednesday September 16 2015 the Americablog published an article titled: Muslim student arrested, suspended after school assumes his homemade clock is a bomb. Ahmed Mohamed who is from Texas was arrested and suspended for taking to school a homemade clock to show his teacher but other faculty believed it looked like a bomb and was trying to blow them up. The article opens up with the statement "America: Not racist, but making a habit of being pretty racist."  In this situation were they accuse an adolescent for being a terrorist because he took a homemade clock to school and showed his teacher, and not to mention were a police officer had never meet him and with just seeing him once he replied with " yes that's him " only because Ahmed has colored brown skin and is a Muslim points out how racist that was of him and how the statement has truth to it. The article points out multiple times how his clock did not in fact look anything like a bomb and show pictures of it yet police officers and the school accused him of being a " terrorist." and putting them in danger.When Ahmed is being interrogated he is asked "If he was trying to build a bomb" to were he replies " No i was trying to make a clock."  At the end of the " confusion " The school sends letters to all the parents explaining the " incident" that had occurred today blaming Ahmed for the whole incident and  how they should read over the student code of conduct and to not take things that are prohibit to school. So whats the saddest part of this whole article were and adolescent was blamed for being a terrorist , the part where a police officer who had never meet him in his life automatically blamed him because of the way he looks and his religion , where the school blamed Ahmed for the whole incident and "shamed " him for his intelligence or that fact that we need more intelligent people like Ahmed a 9th grader who was in his Robotics club in middle school and made the clock around 20 minuets when it would take other people hours, days or even weeks to make a clock like his. The answer is EVERYTHING all that happened that day around Ahmed and to him should not happen. We say america is not about racism that the era for that is gone but the truth is that it's not , people still are racist towards others weather it be because of there skin color , there religion or where they are from. Politicians says that we need to discover more potential intelligence that we have to offer but yet when they find it this happens instead of being awarded and recognized for it he was arrested and suspended. so the question is what does that say about America?
