If anyone in the Irving area has a electronics company, offer this kid an after-school job.
It doesn't sound like his love for science/engineering/electronics has been significantly harmed, but we, as a society, need to keep encouraging kids in these areas, and not shitting all over their passion, no matter what their name, nationality, or race is. It is thoroughly disgusting that the authorities, both the teachers/school and the police, are ignorant enough to make this a story at all.
