Absolutely right Mark.
I could tell when I saw it on TV for a few seconds that it couldn't be a
bomb, yet none of the douche bag adults in attendance had enough brains
to figure it out. Stupid is as stupid does.

Principle = 1/2 douche - I can understand him calling the cops to
cover his ass.
Engineering Teacher = full douche with no balls. Were the hell was
this guy. He was most likely the only one in the school that could
translate between what the kid did and dumb it down enough for
everyone to understand.
Police - 50% douche / 50% caveman. What is this
foreign wizard technology. I think I saw one of these on TV once, must
be a bomb. Burn him!
Every adult in the room with the kid as a group - 150% douche - At
what point in time did it become acceptable to bully and threaten a 14
year old kid. We have 5 - 7 adult authority figures in a room with a 14
year old kid. The best they could come up with is to slap him in hand
cuffs and drag him to jail. BTW - lets make sure we do it when all
the other kids are in the hall. WTF - why weren't his parents called to
the school? Don't give me the crap that they really thought it was a
bomb. If they thought it was a bomb, the bomb squad would have been
there and the school would have been evacuated.
Police chief - Almost acted normal. Came out fairly quick that there
was nothing to see here, so just keep moving on. He dropped the
charges real quick. Guess he didn't want anything to do with this
circus.
School system - 100% douche - how to you give a kid suspension for not
doing anything. He didn't build a bomb. He didn't pretend it was a
bomb. He never mentioned the bomb word. When asked he showed the
teacher the clock. He wasn't trying to hide anything. What exactly
did he get suspended for?
Father - not sure where to put him, seems to have a chip on his
shoulder.
At the end of the day it does matter what this kid brought to school.
It doesn't matter that he is Muslim, Jewish, Mormon or Christian. He
did nothing wrong. He answered the questions truthfully, he never
threatened anyone, and he never tried to hide anything. The adults in
this story FAILED. At any given point in time we had 7-8 adults at
the school trying to figure out what happen. As usual now a days they
over reacted and common sense what thrown into the void. This should
have never been a news story. It should have never left the school.
Parents should have been called. Maybe one police officer should have
shown up. A rational discussion of what happen should have taken
place. Kid should have been advised to clear all future
experiments/inventions with engineering teacher. Maybe all future
engineering projects should stay in the engineering lab until after
school. Kid should have been sent back to class, parents back to
work, police back to speed traps, and principal back to whatever
principles do now a days.
I only have 3 more years left of dealing with public schools. It is
sad I'm counting the days that my children go off to college.
