In the aftermath of the Clock Boy incident, Ahmed and many new allies on the left claimed that his arrest was proof of anti-Islam bigotry in a racist country.
This year’s valedictorian at Ahmed’s old high school disagrees.
From the FOX News Insider:
Claims of Intolerance at ‘Clock Kid’s’ School Disputed by Muslim ValedictorianCritics around the country cried Islamophobia when 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested this year for bringing a homemade clock to school and prompting fears of a bomb.Now, the Muslim valedictorian of that school is coming to its defense, saying that her experience at MacArthur High was nothing but respectful.“Mac is not an intolerant place,” said 18-year-old Amena Jamali, who graduated this year.She told Fox 4 how the school often accommodated her requests for time to pray, and even brought out a letter she wrote to the principal after Ahmed’s story stoked claims of discrimination.“Everything the media was saying was about how bad Mac was,” said Jamali. “Mac is the reason that I do not fear prejudice.”“I’ve had four years to test that hypothesis, and come out saying that I’m very proud to have been a MacArthur Cardinal,” she added.“My principal is a good man.”
Here’s a local video report:
Some people have suggested that the entire incident with the clock and its aftermath was orchestrated to make Irving, Texas and America look racist.
They may be right.
