'Clock boy' Ahmed Mohamed's lawsuit against Irving ISD, city dismissed.
U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay on Tuesday ordered that the suit be "dismissed with prejudice" and that "all relief requested by plaintiff is denied."
"The Court's Order confirms that there is no plausible claim that Irving ISD or its employees violated anyone's constitutional rights. Irving ISD is committed to the safety, well-being, and equality of all students," the statement said.
The hubbub over Ahmed began after he was handcuffed by police and escorted out of the school after his homemade digital clock was confiscated by an English teacher. Officers then questioned the teen about his apparatus, which they described as a "hoax bomb."

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
