‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed Files Lawsuit Alleging ‘Discrimination’ Against Texas School, City
8 Aug 2016
Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, father of “Clock Boy” Ahmed, filed a federal lawsuit in Dallas against the Irving Independent School District, the MacArthur High School Principal and the City of Irving, on August 8.
The lawsuit claims Ahmed Mohamed’s rights were violated when he was
arrested last year after the 14-year-old brought to school a clock
device that resembled a hoax bomb. Although Mohamed’s engineering
teacher advised him to
put it away, he did not listen. Instead, Ahmed took the “clock” to
English class where he plugged it in. It started to beep and scared the
teacher. No charges were ever filed against the teen once the situation
sorted itself out, but Mohamed served three days of suspension before
his family withdrew him from Irving ISD and relocated to Qatar where
Mohamed accepted a full scholarship to attend a Qatar Foundation school. ...
...
The family has had several lawyers represent them along the way,
including a west Texas personal injury attorney Kelly Hollinsgworth demanded
a total of $15 million last November — $10 million from the City of
Irving, and $5 million, from the Irving school district. Breitbart Texas
reported
the letters alleged innumerable claims about Ahmed Mohamed’s September
14, 2015 detainment, among them “Islamophobia.” In late June,
uncle Aldean Mohamed told Dallas news media the family still planned to sue.
