Clock Boy back in the news looking for his pay day. I hope the school doesn't settle and makes them go the distance in court. A shitlord judge would make it even better.

The father of Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old African-American Muslim student dubbed "Clock Boy" after photos of his arrest at MacArthur High School in Irving went viral, filed a lawsuit Monday accusing Irving ISD, the city of Irving and Mohamed's former principal of violating his son's civil rights.
The Hutchison & Stoy law firm of Fort Worth is representing Mohamed's father, Mohamed Elhassan, in the suit. Lead attorneys Susan Hutchison and Christopher Stoy announced the suit in a press conference at 10 a.m. at the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas. Mohamed and his father were in attendance.
Hutchison said in a written statement that Mohamed's treatment represented a "blatant disregard" for his civil rights.
"In the case of Ahmed Mohamed," the suit says, "we have the opportunity to take a stand for equality and for justice, two things that should prevail above all else."
Representatives for Irving ISD said in a written statement that district administrators are aware of the suit, and district attorneys will respond to the suit's claims after they review it.
"Irving ISD continues to deny violating the student's rights and will respond to claims in accordance with court rules," the statement said. "Because this matter is now in litigation, Irving ISD officials will have no further comment at this time. Irving ISD employees are focused on welcoming 35,000 students for the 2016-2017 academic year and doing everything possible to ensure each student is achieving his or her maximum potential."
Elhassan's suit alleges Mohamed's civil rights were violated last Sept. after Irving police mistook a homemade clock Mohamed had brought to school for a bomb.
