I expect they will have more to say tomorrow, but Ahmed's sister asked me to share this photo. A NASA shirt! pic.twitter.com/nR4gt992gB

This is a follow up to our post, when they arrested Ahmed, at school, he was wearing a NASA shirt. Change will happen, sometimes slow, but it happens, and this picture will be remembered. We try to get kids in to STEM, celebrate our achievements like NASA… then this. Any way, we are all Ahmed.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The level of ignorance and the lack of even a rudimentary level of understanding about technology displayed by the school and the police is just heartbreaking to me. The comment, “it looks like a ‘movie’ bomb” says is all. That is, the only actual knowledge displayed was about fictional bombs, not anything real. To these people, anything with an LED display that shows numbers counting must be a bomb, especially if there are “wires” showing. Truly a sad comment on the state of our educational system.
