Well, UpChuck and Pammy won’t need to worry about Ahmed Mohamed building any more “clock bombs” — he’s moving to Qatar. Yay, America!!
Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Muslim boy from Texas whose teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb, will move to Qatar with his family.
Ahmed has accepted a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, where he will study.
He’s got a free ride for both high school and college from the foundation. Probably will grow to invent some fancy shit, win a Nobel prize, or something … and he’ll do it someplace besides here.
I’m happy for him, but I would have preferred he stay here in the States, despite its occasional unfriendliness.
