On this weeks episode we discuss: IStandWithAhmed, How Whites Benefit from Affirmative Action and our Audio Engineer Brian Fuller visits the studio and let's us in on a few definitions we weren't sure that we even wanted to know and more!

This episode of the Greed for Ilm podcast I talk about Ahmed Mohamed, the 14 year old Muslim boy from Texas, who recently got arrested because his school thought his clock invention was a “bomb.” You can follow me on Twitter @greedforilm You can listen to more episodes here. The post EP 155 – #IStandWithAhmed appeared first on Greed for Ilm.

By now everyone has heard about Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old high school student in Texas who built a clock to impress his teachers. However, instead of getting praise, the young man was arrested and suspended from school. This week we will discuss Islamaphobia in America in light of the unnecessary arrest of Ahmed with Muslim-American journalist Sarah Harvard.

The suspension of Ahmed Mohamed had just hit the headlines when we recorded this week's show. The gifted ninth-grader from Irving, Texas, built a digital clock at home, and brought it to school to show his teachers. And his English teacher assumed it was a bomb. Police were called, and despite Ahmed's unwavering insistence that his invention was a clock, he was suspended from school, arrested, and taken out in handcuffs. "I felt like I was a criminal," he told MSNBC's Chris Hayes. "I felt like I was a terrorist." Since our time in the studio, public support for Ahmed has been swift and abundant, much of it bearing the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed. He's been invited to visit MIT, the Mars Rover project, Facebook, and even the White House. Many kids of color get an abrupt and ugly education in racism the first time they are profiled. It happened to Ahmed this week, and it happens to young black men who are hassled (or worse) by police and other authority figures. But since African-American studies aren't usually taught until the college level, younger students can be ill-equipped to talk about race and deal with the realities of contemporary racism. Dr. Duchess Harris, African-American Studies professor and Department Chair at Macalaster, would like to change that. Dr. Harris co-authored a book called "Black Lives Matter," aimed at 6th-12th graders, and she joins us this week to talk about why it's important that kids of different races learn about race and racism while they're young. Right here in Louisville, a 10-year-old girl is doing her part to educate her peers about self-esteem. Olivia Allen noticed that as she and her classmates became pre-teens, fewer and fewer girls raised their hands or spoke up in class. "I kind of realized that some girls just lose their confidence around the age 10," she explains. She held an event in Louisville called "I Can Be: Girls Confidence Conference." And the next thing she knew, she was all over the internet, featured in national media outlets like Huffington Post and Madame Noire. About 60 girls showed up to the conference, along with Mayor Greg Fischer, arts administrator Barbara Sexton Smith, and 2013 Ms. Kentucky, Ashley Miller, who talked to attendees about the importance of believing in yourself. Olivia (and her mom Anitra) join us in the studio this week to talk about how the conference came about, how she deals with discouragement in her own life, and what she wants to be when she grows up (She listed at least half a dozen career goals, and we believe she can achieve every single one).

We started off the podcast wanting to discuss the interview we re-released with Pallavi Dhawan, but we got completely sidetracked by current events surrounding #IStandwithAhmed and Sureshbhai Patel. We then somehow end up in a discussion about statutory rape versus police brutality. It's been a strange Friday morning. Sit back, enjoy, or get uncomfortable with our latest discussion.

Dallas Morning News staff writer Avi Selk joins us to talk about his story that broke the internet involving a Muslim boy, a homemade clock, and handcuffs. Next, we journey into Dallas’ underground world of lucha lubra, the masked-and-costumed Mexican wrestling sport. Al Dia Writer Vianey Alderete and Dallas Morning News photographer Nathan Hunsinger talk about what they saw. Al Dia’s Tommy Cummings and Jorge Chavez tell us how this project became a bilingual, cross-departmental piece of journalism. Finally, have we got friends in low places? Yes, and his name is Hunter Hauk. The News' pop music critic explains why Dallas is still obsessed with country superstar Garth Brooks.

On this special episode of the Mixed Media podcast, Dallas Morning News writer Avi Selk discusses his story about Irving ninth-grader Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim boy who was arrested for bringing to school a homemade digital clock that some thought was a bomb. Selk's story went viral and Ahmed is now a social media sensation — and an unwitting symbol. Selk talks candidly about the story, the reaction and what some are describing as America's Islamophobia problem.

One voice has been conspicuously absent from the discussion around #IStandWithAhmed: students. This week we chat with four K-12 students to hear their reactions to the plight of Texas teenager Ahmed Mohamed.
