16-Year-Old Student Suspended After Using Term “Illegal Alien” in English Class

OUTRAGEOUS: 16-Year-Old Student Suspended After Using Term “Illegal Alien” in English Class
A 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina, faced a three-day suspension last week, the Carolina Journal reported.
The cause? His use of the term ‘illegal alien’ during a vocabulary assignment in English class.
The Carolina Journal has omitted the teenager’s name due to his minor status and in order to safeguard his privacy. Similarly, The Gateway Pundit has also chosen not to disclose the student’s identity.
Leah McGhee, the mother of the student, reported that the vocabulary exercise included the word ‘alien’. Trying to clarify, her son inquired, “Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?”
This question led to a confrontation with another student, escalating to the point where the teacher summoned the assistant principal.
The administrative staff subsequently determined the term used by McGhee’s son as ‘offensive and disrespectful’ towards Hispanic classmates, leading to his suspension.
In his defense, the student stated, “I didn’t make a statement directed towards anyone; I asked a question. I wasn’t speaking of Hispanics because everyone from other countries needs green cards, and the term ‘illegal alien’ is an actual term that I hear on the news and can find in the dictionary.”

Words hurt a lot worse than sticks and stones in our modern, squishy, “progressive” society.
I can just imagine all those presumed adults in administration running around wringing their hands and ultimately being pleased with themselves at signaling their virtue in making an example of this young student.

OT Moderates and Progressives will love this. Censorship in schools is very important. Cannot go against the leftist narratives or you will pay.

When you control the language, you control the culture.

Wait. Government stifling young citizen's speech? Does it mention that in the constitution?

In high school I had an American History teacher that was not American.
I said stuff daily that I am 100% certain would have me expelled today. Much worse that Illegal Alien.
I do remember giving a quick lecture before she showed up about how we should annex San Francisco. Keep in mind, this was back in 2000.

Sue the crap out of them,,,
nothing incorrect with the term illegal or alien... Oxford dictionary.....
Illegal: not according to or authorized by law : UNLAWFUL, ILLICIT
Alien: a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living:
"an illegal alien"
