    1. Take for example the high school science teacher in Los Angeles Unified School District who was suspended after two of his students submitted science fair projects designed to shoot projectiles in Spring 2014.

      Was anyone hurt during the fair or injured in any way?

    2. Many argue that Ahmed’s identity as a Muslim was a major factor in his being accused of bringing a hoax bomb to school.

      That could be a reason for why he was detained for his clock. It could also be because he wasn't white in a place where people of minority groups are judged harsher than whites.

    3. Though Ahmed never claimed that the clock was anything other than a clock, he was ultimately suspended from school for three days.
