President Obama, Mark Zuckerbeg And Others Support Ahmed Mohamed

We reported earlier that Ahmed Mohamed, a 9th grader from Texas was arrested for bringing an electronic clock to school. The talented teen showed the project to his engineering teacher, who reportedly applauded the design but told him not to show it to other teachers.
