School sued for suspending student who used term ‘illegal alien’

(NewsNation) — The mother of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for asking about the term “illegal alien” in class says the punishment could hinder his college prospects if it remains on his record.

Leah McGhee said her 16-year-old son Christian, a 10th grader at Central Davidson High School, was just asking a question when he used the term, which the school allegedly equated “to a vicious racial slur.”

“Christian is raised in a household that instills the beliefs in the following of Jesus Christ. For him, that hurts even more, because he knows in his heart, he has zero racism in his heart,” McGhee said Tuesday on NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

Antisemitism ‘is happening in our high schools’: Rep. Aaron Bean The family represented by the Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit against the school district, alleging violations of Christian’s free speech, education and due process rights.

McGhee said she is concerned the three-day suspension could create issues when Christian applies to colleges next year.

“This label that was so unfairly placed on his record is going to hinder him,” she told NewsNation.

Don’t forget, Mexicans are “North Americans”.

Geographically true. And Chechens are Caucasian.

The people of Mexico, like the people of the United States (and a lot of other countries) include all “races” - African, European, Asian, Middle Eastern, Native American - and all possible mixtures.

It’s always amusing when you point that either of those things to a leftist claiming it is racist and they just stop and stare blankly as the gears crash.

Sometimes I just get the impression that people are dumb.
