1. What do you think about this story? Please be specific....tell me why.

I heard about this story yesterday and it was really disappointing. After reading the full article today my opinions haven't changed. I think young engineers and scientists should be allowed to explore and build technology without fear of school suspension and arrest. I understand the safety concerns, but there was no evidence of Ahmed trying to harm anyone or anything.
2. Do you think he was singled out because of the color of his skin or his descent?

I definitely think there was stereotype involved with the matter, despite what officials say about doing the same thing to any other student. It's a small town in Texas, there are going to be issues with race and religion.
3. What do you think should happen to the school district officials who did this?

School district officials involved in this will get a lot of hate and publicity so I don't think anything has to be done as far as losing their positions. If it happens again they will have learned their lesson about taking things to far, to fast.
4. Should the boy be compensated somehow for this action?

The boy is getting a lot of support on social media right now, and is going to the White House to meet President Obama soon. I feel like that is compensation, or at least an attempt depending on how offended by this he is.
