The Texas high school where student Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for a clock invention that a teacher mistook for a bomb said they will welcome him back as a student, should he change his mind about changing schools.

    "We're confident that we can continue to provide him with an excellent education, but we want him to feel safe along with the other 2,800-plus students on campus," The headteacher weaver added. Ahmed, a student at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, was taken into police on Monday when his homemade digital clock was mistaken for a bomb by school officials.

    Since the incident, the 14-year-old has become a famous boy, as well as President Barack Obama.

    "She saw a clock that, in her opinion, looked like a threat to her," Ahmed said of the unnamed teacher. "I repeatedly told them, 'It's a clock,' but no matter how much I told them, they don’t believe me," he said "I want it [the clock] back."

    During Wednesday's news conference with Ahmed and his family, the teen told reporters that he has no desire to meet with MacArthur High School to further discuss the ordeal and has already made his decision to transfer to another school.
