It's pretty hard not to fault the approach they took to addressing that.

Yes, and before I asked my question I did mean to point out that I agree that the process of what happened to him is very wrong.

Question. If it was some suburbia white "christian" kid that brought it, do you think the reaction would have been the same? I tend to think so only because most school shootings in the past where white dudes. This is just a bad combo of the kid's ethnicity/religion and people in schools being overly cautious because of school shootings.

So the only way this would be a non-story is if it was an Asian kid.

I'm just saying, if the story didn't tell me that it was a muslim kid from Sudan, I would still say that looks more like something suspicious than it looks like a clock. I get the school safety side of it, but what they did to him afterwards was a violation of human rights.
