Ahmed Mohamed clock incident
In 2015, there was widespread public reaction that included allegations of racial profiling and Islamophobia when a 14-year-old boy, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas for bringing an alleged hoax bomb to school.
Mohamed had assembled the parts of a electronic clock in a pencil box and brought it to school to show his teachers. His English teacher thought the clock resembled a bomb, confiscated it, and reported him to the school's principal. Local law enforcement was called and Mohamed was questioned by police for an hour and a half. After being handcuffed and taken into custody, where he was not allowed to see his parents, he was transported to a juvenile detention facility where he was fingerprinted and his photograph was taken. He was then released to his parents. The case was not pursued further by juvenile justice authorities, but Mohamed was suspended from school for three days.
News of the incident went viralinitially on Twitterwith allegations by some commentators that the actions of the school officials and police were due to their stereotyping of Mohamed based on his Sudanese ancestry and Muslim faith. A number of hoax allegations and conspiracy theories ensued. After U.S. President Barack Obama, politicians, activists, technology company executives, and media personalities remarked on the incident, Mohamed was invited to participate in a number of high-profile events related to encouraging youth interest in science and technology. After the incident, the family decided to move to Qatar, accepting a scholarship offered to Mohamed by the Qatar Foundation.
After the incident occurred, police determined that Mohamed had no malicious intent, and he was not charged with any crime. On November 23, 2015, Ahmed's family threatened to sue the City of Irving and the school district for civil rights violations and physical and mental anguish unless they receive a written apology and compensation of $15 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ahmed Mohamed demands $15m compensation and written apology for homemade clock arrest )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Family of Muslim Teen Seeks $15M in Clock Incident )〕
