It's so ******* ridiculous. I've lost count of how many little children have been suspended for talking about bubble guns, drawing a gun, holding their hand like a gun, taking a tiny plastic GI Joe gun to school, biting a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun or drawing a picture of a gun. The schools stuck by the punishments they imposed for these "serious infractions."
Now, a Muslim student makes a clock that looks a lot like actual bombs that killed people in the past. It's not a plastic toy. It's not a drawing. It's not a Pop Tart. It's ticking. Hello, people!! And Obama, right on cue, acts like the school's reaction was solely based on the fact that the kid is a Muslim.
For Obama to invite the kid to the White House and make a big deal out of it is alarming. The message here is that when future Muslim students bring in ticking briefcases, the schools better look the other way or the president will get involved and throw accusations of discrimination around. What could possibly go wrong?
I am amazed that the kid's parents allowed this. I am sure everyone is well aware of the school's policies regarding bombs.
Only in Obama's America is a bomb replica clock more innocent than a piece of food in a certain shape. We've officially passed the threshold of insanity!
