If You See Something and Say Something, You're a Racist

When 14-year-old Texas teen Ahmed Mohamed took his hastily assembled homemade clock to school to surprise his engineering teacher, the surprise was on him. When Mohamed presented the clock to his teacher, he nervously complimented Mohamed on his work, but he also gave him a warning, "I would advise you not to show any other teachers."  I suspect he told him that because he knew two things for sure; the Irving Independent School District has repeatedly asked both staff and students to "immediately report if they observe any suspicious items or if they observe any suspicious behavior."  He also knew that a case containing a circuit board with numerous wires and a power supply connected to a digital display looked more like a bomb than a clock.
