Way to go, Zuckerberg, Obama, the Mohamed family, and so many others for helping a 14-year-old boy learn the true lessons to be learned from such a terrible incident. Kindness and compassion can make all the difference.
Thankfully, Texas police have decided not to charge a 14-year-old Muslim boy wrongfully arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school.
Officials at MacArthur High School in Irving alerted police because they thought the device was a “hoax bomb”.
Ahmed Mohamed’s arrest has been sharply criticised in many quarters
Ahmed told reporters it was “very sad” that his teacher thought his clock was a threat.
“I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. I’m very sad that she got the wrong impression of it.”

“He’s a very smart, brilliant boy and he said he just wanted to show himself to the world,” he said.
