Ahmed Mohamed le "clock kid" veut 15 millions de dollars

Vous souvenez probablement de cette histoire controversée d'un jeune musulman américain qui avait été détenu après avoir apporté à son école une horloge artisanale. Une professeure et la direction avaient confondu l'objet avec une bombe. On apprenait aujourd'hui que le jeune Ahmed, 14 ans, poursuit son ancienne école et la ville (école MacArthur à Irving, Texas). Victimes de harcèlement, sa famille et lui vivent aujourd'hui au Qatar.

 "Mohamed was vaulted into the international spotlight in mid-September after he was arrested and allegedly interrogated by police for bringing a homemade clock to school that some felt looked like a bomb. The incident sparked a top-trending hashtag “#IStandWithAhmed“ and even prompted internship offers from Facebook and Google and a personal invitation to the White House from President Barack Obama.%% Mohamed’s family has since moved to Qatar, where he was offered a chance to study at one of the county’s elite prep schools.

“Qatar is nice, but it is not Texas. That is their attitude toward this,” Mohamed’s lawyer kelly Hollingsworth told The Washington Post. “They are citizens of Irving, Texas, USA, first. Are they devout people devoted to their faith? Absolutely. But they are Texans, too, and they want to come home. What we are seeking is for them to be able to do that with their heads held high.”
