Funny, especially considering who wrote it

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/19/native-american-boy-pulled-from-class-over-mohawk-haircut/

Between this kid, the clock kid, and the kid in VA who got expelled for having a leaf that only looked like marijuana, school administrators around the country are pretty much looking like the dumbest people on earth these days.

Wait, someone made something that definitely looked like what bombs look like in media depictions and a school administrator called the police to determine if it was, in fact, not a bomb after the student -- by multiple accounts -- refused to engage in any discussion with his teachers about it. Yes, what an idiot that administrator looks like, following the proper protocol for every school district everywhere in the country.

If a school authoritarian thinks something might possibly be a bomb then the next thing to do would be to evacuate the school. They didn't. Because they knew it wasn't a bomb.

I thought they did evacuate the school? Perhaps I am mistaken?

Are you saying the administrators were right and the kid was wrong?

If that's the case why is the President trying to portray the kid as some kind of hero/martyr?

You don't think this is entirely overblown? A reasonable person can go "hmm, I am not an expert on bombs but that definitely looks weird," maybe I should get an expert to look at this, and a professional then speaks to the student about it for about 90 minutes after school. The kid is charged with nothing, and received a huge outpouring of support and in fact told Mark Cuban that because of the scholarship offers he's gotten to private high schools and free stuff that this thing is "the best thing that's ever happened to him."

This is not the great civil rights martyr of our time. We have a kid about to be crucified and beheaded in Saudi Arabia, I wish we were discussing that with quite the passion we feel for some kid detained for an hour and a half because of his tinkers project.
