Before Clock Incident Made Him a Celebrity, Ahmed Mohamed ‘Racked Up Weeks of Suspensions’ and Clashed With Authority | TheBlaze.com:

"Despite rumors about the 14-year-old’s past disciplinary problems, Mohamed’s status as a minor has prevented the Irving Independent School District from speaking out on the matter.

Critics have argued that his past behavior may have influenced how school officials responded to the clock that officials thought could have been a “hoax bomb.” Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne recently told TheBlaze that the Mohamed family has ignored requests by the school district to allow officials to speak out about the case. The context, she said, would help explain why the situation progressed as it did."

So a kid who makes a clock which looks like a bomb, skyrockets to fame and is loved by all, including the executive.
Meanwhile, other American kids are suspended because a pastry looks suspicious. 

Can you hear our enemies laughing at us?  Honestly, what kind of an upside down world do we live in?  We have become idiots!
