Powerful op-ed in the Guardian from activist Linda Sarsour about Ahmed Mohamed, the 14 year-old Muslim student who was accused of bomb-making but in reality, built a homemade clock. Ms. Sarsour is Director for the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC), and writes passionately about this injustice —
“What message does Ahmed’s treatment by his own teachers send to American Muslim students, aspiring inventors, innovators and engineers? We have spent billions of dollars promoting the math and sciences in schools across the United States – but I guess the people who designed those outreach efforts didn’t mean for Muslim kids to take the bait.”
