Apparently because he used a phrase that is precise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Until recently, this was a phrase that was used by our federal government. It is a phrase that is quite clinical. \u201cIllegal\u201d means \u201cnot legal,\u201d and \u201calien\u201d means \u201cforeigner.\u201d So, \u201cillegal alien\u201d refers to people who are foreigners: subjects of a foreign state who come into our country illegally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly what term should be used instead of \u201cillegal alien\u201d? What term was Christian supposed to use? The liberals would probably answer that they want him to use a term like \u201cundocumented American.\u201d But he is not an American; he is a foreigner. While he may have some kind of documents in his own country, he does not have any documents here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To this, the liberals might suggest using \u201cdreamer,\u201d to which I would respond that I am a dreamer. I have dreams almost every night. But we are discussing a different matter here. So, the liberals might pose using the term \u201cfuture citizen\u201d \u2014 although what they really want to use is \u201cfuture Democrat voter.\u201d After all, it\u2019s all the same euphemism, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his English assignment, Christian used clear, descriptive language rather than a mealy mouthed, prevaricating euphemism. This student is being punished for that. He is being punished for writing well. That\u2019s where we are at in American education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 1946, George Orwell wrote <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Politics-English-Language-George-Orwell\/dp\/2491704811\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">an essay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  titled, \u201cPolitics in the English Language.\u201d In it, he describes how to write clearly and to write well. Use simple words and evocative words, not mealy mouthed words. Use good old Anglo-Saxon words, not these kind of squishy Latin words. We want to say what we mean, and we want to mean what we say. We want an economy of language. We want to be clear and concise. That is what Christian did, and he was punished for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/the-michael-knowles-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In our schools today, specifically in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/safer-sex-practices-for-all-kinds-of-sexual-activities-school-board-director-announces-sex-ed-classes-at-her-sex-shop-for-9-year-olds\/\" title=\"\u2018Safer Sex Practices For All Kinds Of Sexual Activities\u2019: School Board Director Announces Sex-Ed Classes At Her Sex Shop For 9 Year Olds\">sex-education classes<\/a>, students are taught that boys are girls and girls are boys. That is not sex education. That is mal-education. Students learn that America is an evil, rotten, terrible country and was founded to promote genocide. That is not history. That is anti-history. Students learn Common Core math, which is usually not math but rather a kind of anti-math. Students learn there is no such thing as truth, and we can never know anything about truth. That is not philosophy. That is anti-philosophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And now, students can walk into their English classes, write well, and get points taken off and perhaps get a mark on your record. You get suspended from school. That is not English language or writing; that is anti-writing, anti-rhetoric, and anti-oratory. That is mal-education. This particular student is being punished for trying to learn, write, and speak well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For any student who experiences a punishment for this, I hope the student is absolved. Calling attention to these stories is a critical method of support. This student\u2019s particular school is obviously terrible, and the teachers who push this type of initiative should be fired \u2014 not only because they transgressed a political line, but also because they are not doing their jobs well. This English teacher is teaching students to write poorly. And I feel bad for all the other students at this high school who are obviously being failed by their education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your education will stick with you, and if your child is raised to have their head filled with nonsense while at the same time being unable to use the English language well, they have missed an opportunity \u2014 and been set up for failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taken from \u201cThe Michael Knowles Show,\u201d dated April 17, 2023.
