A 14-year-old boy was arrested by police in Texas after a homemade clock he wanted to show his school teachers was mistaken for a bomb.
Ahmed Mohamed told US media that he had made a clock at home and brought it into MacArthur High School in Irving to show his engineering teacher.
Another teacher saw it and, concerned it looked like a bomb, alerted school authorities who called the police.
His father fears the incident happened because of his son's Muslim background.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it is investigating the incident.
There was a strong reaction to the story on social media.

He said his engineering teacher had congratulated him but advised him "not to show any other teachers".
The teenager said another teacher became aware of it when the device beeped during the lesson.
"She was like - it looks like a bomb," he said.
The homemade clock consisted of a circuit board with wires leading to a digital display.
Later in the day the boy was pulled out of class and interviewed by the school's headteachers and four police officers.
The Dallas paper said he was led out in handcuffs, put into juvenile detention and fingerprinted.
Police spokesman James McLellan said that, throughout the interview, Ahmed had maintained that he built only a clock.
The school has not commented on the case, but issued a statement saying it "always ask our students and staff to immediately report if they observe any suspicious items".
Ahmed's father Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, who is originally from Sudan, said his son had been mistreated because of his name "and because of 11 September".
Alia Salem of the Council on American-Islamic Relations agreed: "This wouldn't even be a question if his name wasn't Ahmed Mohamed. He is an excited kid who is very bright and wants to share it with his teachers."

India is commonly referred to as the world's largest democracy, and the presence of democracy in the South Asian nation is commonly attributed to Great Britain, which unified its multiple princely states during nearly two centuries of colonial rule.
But as Indian Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor put it during a recent debate at the Oxford Union: "It's a bit rich to oppress, enslave, kill, torture, maim people for 200 years and then celebrate the fact that they are democratic at the end of it."
Tharoor's speech, which went viral on social media last week, debunks several commonly cited arguments that justify British colonial rule of India from 1757 (beginning with the East India Company) until the nation's independence in 1947. The former Indian minister of state makes a compelling case for reparations, which he says indicate "the ability to acknowledge a wrong that has been done, to simply say sorry" for decades of oppression.
Tharoor, also a former U.N. official, began by talking about the years of plunder by the U.K. of its colonies, a siphoning of wealth that propelled Europe's industrial revolution of the 19th century. He highlighted the fact that India's share of the global economy " 23% when the British first arrived " had dropped to 4% by the time the Union Flag was finally lowered.
Colonial apologists often argue that India's dense and intricate railway network, one of the largest in the world, was built thanks to the British. But Tharoor's simple rejoinder, after reiterating that the railways and roads were built only to serve British interests, is that "many countries have built railways and roads without having to be colonized in order to do so."
But while insightful points such as these formed the crux of Tharoor's eloquent speech, it was his rapier barbs that had the esteemed audience (and netizens alike) crowing.
"No wonder that the sun never set on the British Empire," he says at one point, referencing a common boast used to illustrate the sheer extent of Britain's power, "because even God couldn't trust the English in the dark."
