Ahmed Mohamed’s Family Sues School District For Ridiculous Amount After Clock Arrest

 

Remember Ahmed Mohamed? If you don’t he was the Texas teen who was arrested after he brought a homemade clock to school and a teacher thought it was a bomb.

His family is not planning on taking the situation lying down. They have reportedly demanded $15 million in compensation and written apologies from both the local mayor and police chief.
As reported by UniLad, in letters sent to the city authorities earlier today, lawyers said if the City of Irving and Irving School District did not agree to the apologies and compensation, they would file a civil action.

 

They said: “Ahmed never threatened anyone, never caused harm to anyone, and never intended to. The only one who was hurt that day was Ahmed, and the damages he suffered were not because of oversight or incompetence. The school and city officials involved knew what they needed to do to protect Ahmed’s rights. They just decided not to do it.”
He already got to meet Obama. Ahmed’s father believes the youngster had been the victim of Islamophobia. Despite not being charged after the arrest, MacArthur high school still suspended Ahmed for three days for bringing the clock to class.
