1 is allegedly happening. For 2, the principal might get fired by their school board, but police officers in Texas? Impossible.
Also, if a kid had brought a functioning homemade clock to school, there's no way I'd believe something that took that much work was a bomb hoax. A high-school bomb hoax is a shoebox full of telephone cord.
3) The thing you brought to school looks like this:
What were you expecting to happen?
If they really considered it a "hoax bomb" then just ask him to put it in his locker or hold on to it and tell him to come get it at the end of the day, or send him home for the day. The police have zero reason to be involved.

That is the very definition victim shaming. That is like saying, "Hey, you're an attractive woman wearing attractive clothing and you're walking through the city at night. You're surprised you got raped? What were you expecting to happen?"
No. Nothing this kid did was wrong. He expected adults to act like adults instead of scared and stupid children. The adults that perpetrated this injustice were wrong.
I'm well aware that he did nothing wrong. I was thinking about this from the other perspective. It has all the trappings of a situation that's extremely easy to misunderstand.

This is only easy to misunderstand if you have the intelligence of a two year old.

The teacher who I assumed notified the police and/or the principle was aware that it wasn't actually a threat in any way. There was no misunderstanding, just racism.

I saw a comment on that YouTube video that made me chuckle.
"MY GOD! THIS BOMB, THIS BOMB IS COUNTING UPWARDS!"

The worst thing that has happened in the US is the trend of creating a "level playing field," where we think about "both sides" of an issue as though all viewpoints have equal merit.
Not all ideas merit actual fair consideration. Some ideas are just worse than others. The ideas that created the framework that lead to a culture that would stifle a child's innovation are not worth considering.

I know this is a pretty pro-union group of people but seriously, fuck everyone trying to intimidate or smear this woman.
