He questioned what she meant by that word, asking \u201cLike space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Hispanic student then joked he was going to \u201ckick Christian\u2019s a**\u201d over the comment, which then led to the teacher escalating the situation to the assistant principal.<\/p>\n<p>The assistant principal, Eric Anderson, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/school-administrator-equates-teen-saying-illegal-alien-n-word-newly-released-audio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, then gave McGhee a three-day suspension over the incident.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, the student\u2019s legal team produced audio recordings of Anderson saying he believed not doling out such a punishment would be \u201cunfair\u201d to students facing the same punishment \u201cfor saying the n-word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It should be obvious to pretty much anyone that the \u201cn-word\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/liberal-mayor-blames-republicans-cuts-city-services-fund-programs-illegal-aliens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">illegal aliens<\/a>\u201d are not remotely in the same category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIllegal alien\u201d is a factual term referring to an immigrant who entered the country without proper permissions or documentation, while the \u201cn-word\u201d is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/matt-walsh-torches-leftists-outrage-common-insult-labeled-racial-slur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racial slur<\/a> dating back to the days of Jim Crow and slavery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should the boy get his record cleared after asking this innocent question?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To equate the two via a three-day school suspension (one the parents could not appeal, no less) was simply absurd.<\/p>\n<p>McGhee and his mother, with the aid of the Liberty Justice Center, have therefore filed a lawsuit against the administrators for this ridiculous punishment, with McGhee\u2019s mother, Leah McGhee, speaking about the case with Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>McGhee clarified that, after the exchange between her son and the other student, the teacher had called Anderson, who took the three of them out into the hall.<\/p>\n<p>According to McGhee, \u201cboth boys said the exchange was innocent, and that there was no offense taken\u201d but the assistant principal insisted that \u201cno, this is a big deal, these words do carry weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGhee then told Fox that the three-day suspension resulted in her son missing several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mother-of-student-suspended-for-saying-illegal-alien-had-no-other-choice-but-to-sue-school-board\/\" title=\"Mother sues school board after student suspended for using term 'illegal alien\">important track meets<\/a>, as well as creating anxiety that her son would be branded as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/the-far-lefts-racism-accusations-are-pure-poppycock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racist<\/a> on his permanent record.<\/p>\n<p>She and her family attempted to handle the issue privately, but after four weeks of emails with no response, \u201cwe had no other choice but to file a lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All for a word which, as McGhee said during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/graphic-sexual-content-assigned-to-texas-students-dissenting-parents-harassed-with-anti-christiandks\/\" title=\"Graphic Sexual Content Assigned To Texas Students; Dissenting Parents Harassed With Anti-Christian\u2026\u2018D**ks\u2019\u00a0\">recent school board meeting<\/a>, \u201cthere certainly isn\u2019t a case for racism, due to the fact that \u2018alien\u2019 is not a race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, indeed, she was absolutely correct.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cAlien\u201d merely refers to a foreigner, and \u201cillegal\u201d is a necessary qualifier.<\/p>\n<p>It was absurd for Anderson to punish McGhee for a question that was not racially motivated, as well as to insist that it was a big deal when neither student involved felt that way.<\/p>\n<p>Such a disciplinary measure for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/banned-fan-vindicated-final-results-investigation-alleged-racism-duke-volleyball-game-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alleged racism<\/a> could harm McGhee\u2019s chances at getting into college. As his mother told Fox, it has already resulted in retaliation from the family\u2019s community, before the whole truth was known.<\/p>\n<p>Things got so bad that McGhee pulled her son out of school and is now homeschooling him for the rest of the year, according to a report by the U.K.\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-13400735\/Central-Davidson-High-School-sophomore-Christian-McGhee-suspension-illegal-aliens.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But that, of course, is how liberalism works.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is about race, even when it isn\u2019t, and these newly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nba-teams-drop-term-owner-claiming-racially-insensitive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racially insensitive<\/a> labels must be offensive, even when they aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>They believe those who inadvertently utter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-complete-fraud-reveal-msnbc-host-creates-fake-desantis-slavery-comment-thin-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newly forbidden words<\/a> must be punished for their offense, even if no offense was meant or given.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, words everyone could use in jest five minutes ago could result in a three-day suspension with no appeal, potentially jeopardizing a teenager\u2019s future in the name of \u201ctolerance\u201d and \u201cfairness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There might be plenty of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democrats-tolerance-problem-tolerate-worst-side\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tolerance<\/a>,\u201d but there will never be any mercy.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
