NEW: North Carolina high school student Christian McGhee was suspended from school for saying "illegal alien" in the classroom.
Calling an illegal alien and illegal alien is not offensive, it's just a fact.
McGhee was suspended for three days after doing an assignment in English class.
The teacher told the class to say a sentence with the word "alien" in it. McGhee reportedly said: "Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?"
The school determined the phrase was "offensive and disrespectful" to Hispanic students.
"I didn’t make a statement directed towards anyone; I asked a question," McGhee shot back.
"I wasn’t speaking of Hispanics because everyone from other countries needs green cards, and the term 'illegal alien' is an actual term that I hear on the news and can find in the dictionary."
His mother is now concerned that he won't be able to get into college.
"He is devastated and concerned that the racism label on his school record will harm his future goal of receiving a track scholarship," she said.

i smell a huge lawsuit brewing!
Exactly, school officials don't get qualified immunity. If they put that in his public school record, then libel claims can be made and proven. He won't need a scholarship, he'll have a near egg to pay for college ( hopefully he wants an engineering degree or something that really needs a college education else byes better choosing a quality trade).
Hopefully this comment saves him from college.
Hus mother should look into Hillsdale College, they LOVE independent thinkers.
If a college won't admit him because of this, it's not a college he wants to attend!
Exactly.
Hillsdale is a great college.
Trade school. 👍
This is what his mother is worried about?

Two guesses for the county this school is in: Mecklenburg or Wake
Sue the fuck out of them for slander.
he should sue the school immediately. for everything they got. offer the lawyers 80% of what ever he receives. the BLOODBATH would send a chill up the spine of every school board.
