A high school student in North Carolina was suspended for three days after asking a question using the term “illegal aliens.” Christian McGhee, a 16-year-old from Central Davidson High School, used the phrase during a class discussion and was later accused of racism by school administrators. The incident occurred when he questioned his teacher’s use of the word “alien” in an assignment. The situation escalated after a Hispanic student made a joking comment, which prompted the teacher to involve the assistant principal.
Mr. McGhee’s legal team released audio recordings of the assistant principal, Eric Anderson, indicating that he believed not giving out the punishment would be unfair to students facing penalties for using a racial slur. The school’s decision to equate the term “illegal aliens” with a racial slur is simply absurd.

McGhee’s family has filed a lawsuit against the school administrators. His mother, Leah McGhee, expressed concerns about the unfair punishment. She mentioned that the suspension not only caused her son to miss important track meets but also created anxiety about being labeled as a racist on his permanent record. The incident has resulted in retaliation from their community.
The punishment for an innocent question jeopardizes McGhee’s future and could harm his chances of getting into college. The disciplinary measure enforced by the school demonstrates a lack of understanding and fairness. The incident raises questions about the school’s ability to handle sensitive issues and highlights the need for open discussions without fear of unfair punishment.
The incident is a clear example of how liberalism interferes with free speech and education. It shows that everything is viewed through the lens of race, even when it is not relevant. This unjust punishment for an innocent question demonstrates the consequences of politicizing language and preemptively labeling individuals as racists. The incident reflects the need for a fair and rational approach to addressing sensitive issues in the education system.
