I saw that on the local news last night. (I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas.) It sounds like the school district is trying to hide behind a general statement about protecting students and the Irving police department is blaming the victim. Here’s a more detailed local news story. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/article35430726.htmlOnly if he was driving a DeLorean!!!! (Just think of the movie "Back To The Future") Ira.If Ahmed had brought a nixie clock to school, would he have been accused of making a time machine?
I would like to add that when I went to high school in Texas in the early 1970s, I brought an LED clock to electronics class. I wasn’t arrested, suspended or had the clock confiscated.On Sep 16, 2015, at 6:41 AM, Nick <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:...also http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34266389 Nick On Wednesday, 16 September 2015 10:17:55 UTC+1, petehand wrote: Although nothing should surprise me by now about the insanity of the American school system, this one touches a nerve. A kid - a young teenager - made a clock of his own design, took it to school, and found himself in police custody accused of making a fake terrorist bomb - a "movie bomb". Maybe it wouldn't have happened if he'd used nixies instead of 7 segment displays, as then the morons at his school might have asked him what it was instead of instantly recognizing it as a deadly bomb like the ones they've seen in Hollywood movies. Way to go, teachers, for discouraging him from ever doing anything creative like that again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mW4w0Y1OXE <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mW4w0Y1OXE> --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
