TYhat does not match teh reports I see:
So, he brought it up to his English teacher *afterward*, and some time later there's a cop and a trip to the principle's office. This is *not* an immediate thing.
And, by the way, it appears that at least some kids in his school are on his side in this:

"When the clock, which Ahmed put inside his school bag,
beeped in the middle of an English class, Ahmed brought it to his teacher, who reportedly told him it looked like a bomb, according to Ahmed. The teacher confiscated the clock, and Ahmed was later yanked out of class by the school's principal and a police officer."
"Later, Ahmed’s clock
beeped during an English class and, after he revealed the device to the teacher, school officials notified police, and he was interrogated by officers. “She thought it was a threat to her,” Ahmed told reporters. “So, it was really sad that she took a wrong impression of it.”
"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, interviewed by senior teachers and four police officers, and put into juvenile detention."
...Like I said earlier, there are a lot of reports out there and many of them are not in agreement. Some do not even reveal that the teacher who confiscated it was the second teacher to see the device.
...The protesting students would be better served showing up at the next school board meeting with the clocks. This principal doesn't have the power to change policies set by them.
