What this incident has revealed -- what it has exposed publicly -- is the innate racism of this "teacher" and the racism of the school administrators:

-- The innate racism of the "teacher" who assumed that some of the students in the classroom are here illegally because, well -- they're Mexican: That's racist thinking.

-- The innate racism of the school administrators who assume the phrase "illegal alien" means "illegal Mexican" and it does not apply to any other group of illegals: That's racist thinking.

Although whether or not the phrase "illegal alien" is offensive to others is a matter of opinion, that the phrase "illegal alien" describes a foreigner -- from any nation -- who violates our laws to enter our country is an accurate description is not opinion, it's fact. So while the racist "teacher" and the racist school administrators can inflict punishment based on "insensitivity", at least the student cannot be persecuted for slander.

The way to fix this is have every upset parent instruct their children to go to school and say the forbidden words as well as say them at every school board meeting.

Well we certainly can’t let the public schools teach the kids about their rights to “Freedom of Speech!”

The teacher and the administrators behind the suspension all need to be fired with the warning that if they ever work a public job and deny someone's inalienable right again, they'll be deported to England within 24 hours.

What is the federal legal terminology referring to an illegal alien ?

The problem is that those in management fear that their own jobs will be jeopardized if they allow the slightest non-woke behavior or speech.

A recent poll showing the major problems in our country showed individual problems like immigration, finances, etc., were above 50% but the greatest problem, over 70% was “country going in the wrong direction”.

I think that last category gathers in thoughts people have but can’t be spoken of publicly.

GOVERNMENT schools (I refuse to call the ‘public schools’) need to realize they’re GOVERNMENT officials subject to the Constitution that restricts the authority of GOVERNMENT and upholds our RIGHT to FREE SPEECH.

Reminds me of Bill Paxton’s awesome character in Aliens.

PRIVATE HUDSON: Right, right. Somebody said “alien” — she thought they said “illegal alien” and signed up.

Maybe they should go back to the older term, “Wetback.” It used to be OK to say it in the 1960s.
