(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.

Not all foreigners at once.
Ellis Island ring a bell?
What does Ellis Island have to do with the fact that illegal aliens in the United States come from many different countries with different languages, including English?
It’s complicated. Sorry you don’t get it.
Do they teach freedom of speech as one of the American values protected as in the First Amendment?
Or is it in the school library under “historical fiction.”?
“Let’s hope they win the lawsuit and Davidson County and its officials have to pay out $millions!!!”
My first thought as well along with I hope his award is substantial enough to cover his college and more. The problem however is that the money comes from the taxpayers when it rightfully should come from the school or district administrative personnel, teacher(s) or anyone involved in establishing the policy.
“Newcomers”
Whatever.
Everyone involved in giving him a 3 day suspension should be looking for a job.
WETBACK always has and always will work for me.
I hope they break the school financially!
If you don’t use that term, they’ll just disappear.
Seriously, you are familiar with Ellis Island where immigrants came to be vetted, vaccinated if needed, and more.
Whew that was tough. ; -))
Right. What does that have to do with the languages spoken by today’s illegal aliens, many of whom overstayed student or tourist visas? The post to which I responded identified the language of illegal aliens as “Mexican,” but even if the person had said “Spanish,” it would have been a poor description of the situation.
I guess I misunderstood the original post.
“Illegal Alien” is not a race.
“Illegal aliens come from a lot of countries, including English-speaking ones.”
Many “overstayed their visas”.
Why haven’t they been fined, then returned?
Because Deep State bureaucrats are too busy knifing the USA elsewhere?
I think it’s a combination of ideology - “The United States is bad and doesn’t deserve to have borders and enforce them.” - and pure incompetence.
I keep saying that, too. “Mexican” is not a race, either.
