In 2015, then-14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was caught up in leftist "zero tolerance" policies when he brought a homemade clock to school.  The clock, school officials said, looked like a bomb. The teen was sent to the principal's office when his clock started beeping in English class.  He was subsequently suspended from school for three days and arrested for making a "hoax bomb."  The charges were later dropped.
