The outpouring of support for 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, who was led out of his school in handcuffs after showing off a digital clock he’d built, has been massive. Not only has #IStandWithAhmed been the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter all day — the folks at Twitter themselves reached out with an offer he can likely refuse.
