After that, I think that the police were ridiculously unreasonable, as well as the administration. But the initial call? I guess I defend Irving too. And I'll do so with much more enthusiasm come January 1, when open carry in this state (and specifically my place of employment) becomes the law of this great state of idiots.

Exactly. I think the initial "WTF is that?" was understandable, even required. I am in no position to say whether it was a bomb or a clock. From Facebook it appears Taxwonk is highly skilled and could have made the determination, but what if no one at the school had Taxwonk's tech skills? Wouldn't you want to have someone else look at it, and that would be someone who could determine what it was? Where it went overboard is arresting the kid, not questioning what the thing was.
