Irving 9th-grader arrested after taking homemade clock to school

I guess he doesn't need a college fund, now. The inevitable settlement should be enough for him to attend a top-tier engineering school.

I wish there were a way to easily send him a $100 GC to Adafruit/Digikey/Mouser/whatever (and for others to match it)

He deserves it and the school deserves to pay. I remember having to explain my fixations with technology to my schools principle. The mistreatment of "us"--being the IT crowd.

> He’s vowed never to take an invention to school again.

what a great lesson they thought him at school. /s

Wow. I wish Kickstarter allowed lawsuits to be funded, with perhaps some back-end participation on the award. That school needs to be taken to the cleaners.

This is a good idea. Someone should start a kickstarter like site, exclusively for dealing with shit like this. If it is run correctly, it might even take some load off of ACLU, EFF etc

As a brown person frankly this makes me want to RUN from maker events. Settlement? How how do you know aren't electrocuting a confession from him right now?
