Yea, that happened.
I live in the US. People are absolutely that fucking stupid.
Maybe if this happened in the 1990s, but I seriously doubt it in the last 25 years. That post said other students were using chromebooks so we know it wasn’t in the 1990s. Middle and High school kids are flashing ROMs on their phone by themselves these days. Even those that don’t understand command line know its used more than just “for hacking”.

No.

Some do. They other 98% are absolutely clueless and wouldn’t even know that there are alternatives to the stock OS. In fact they wouldn’t even know what an OS is or that “Android” isn’t a device brand.

I think this story is fake as fuck, but with regards to school resource officers and the school I went to, if it was a non white kid it definitely would’ve received more scrutiny. It’s hard to say, because you couldn’t have laptops period when I was in highschool.

Regardless, as evidence for your point, remember when they arrested a 14 year old kid for having a DIY clock they thought was a bomb? en.wikipedia.org/…/Ahmed_Mohamed_clock_incident
