Ms Palin also criticised Mr Obama for inviting Ahmed to the White House, accusing him of trying to be a “cool saviour”.
“President Obama’s practice of jumping in cases prematurely to interject himself as the cool savior, wanting so badly to attach himself to the issue-of-the-day, got old years ago,” she said.
She continued: “Friends, consider the kids disciplined and/or kicked out of school for bringing squirt guns to school or taking bites out of a pop tart until it resembled (to some politically correct yahoo) a gun.
“Or the student out deer hunting with his dad early one morning who forgot he had a box of ammo in his truck when he parked in the school’s lot later that day. Kids humiliated and intimidated for innocent actions like those real examples are often marked the rest of their lives and made to feel really rotten.
“Whereas Ahmed Muhammad (sic), an evidently obstinate-answering student bringing in a homemade ‘clock’ that obviously could be seen by conscientious teachers as a dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption (teachers who are told ‘if you see something, say something!’) gets invited to the White House.”
But it could be Ahmed who has the last laugh, as the incident also scored him an invitation to visit his “dream school”, the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
