Teenager withdrawn from school that suspended him over clock

By Associated Press in Dallas | China Daily | Updated: 2015-09-23 07:49

The family of a 14-year-old Muslim student who got in trouble over a homemade clock mistaken for a possible bomb withdrew the boy on Monday from his suburban Dallas high school.

Ahmed Mohamed's father, Mohamed El-Hassan Mohamed, said he has pulled all of his children from schools in the Irving Independent School District. Mohamed said the family is still deciding where to send the children to school.

Ahmed has said he brought the clock he made to MacArthur High School in Irving last week to show a teacher. Officials said he was arrested after another teacher saw it and became concerned. Ahmed wasn't charged, but he was suspended from school for three days.
