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.”

“ Isn’t the term actually used in U.S. law and regulations?”
…yes. But how would she know? Those that can do. Those that can’t teach.
Yes
I hope he’s planning the skate park he’ll build after he owns the school and has it torn down.
“The administrative staff subsequently determined the term used by McGhee’s son as ‘offensive and disrespectful’ towards Hispanic classmates,”
It’s the administrators who assumed that hispanics are illegal.
Who is the racist?
“Like space aliens or illegal aliens wetbacks without green cards?”
College paid for is virtually certain.
Why? Are these classmates non-citizens? Are they, or are they not, aliens? If they are US citizens, why would such a phrase be offensive and disrespectful?
Or is the administrative staff showing themselves to be racist?
Well said.
This only proves lefties ruin everything they touch.
The truth is no defense./sarc
Sux to be young is being embraced by the young. Dam shame.

Public schools have been infiltrated by communists everywhere. Defund public schools NOW! We have to burn the village to save it.
Friggin’ teachers. “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”
They are Wetbacks.
Set the principal's car on fire during lunch break!
Yesterday on our local city Facebook page someone posted about making sure you pay your taxes. I posted “Make sure you pay your taxes, millions of illegal aliens are counting on you!”
Even Facebook didn’t censor me!
People here likely don’t know how stupid many of the women who run our schools are today
I have school aged kids still at almost 67
It’s astounding
And my county is 75% Trump
I am reminded of an old newspaper cartoon “Cowpokes”
In which one cowboy says to his boss...”We rounded up twenty head of cattle and six Wetbacks!”
