It's justified.

It's unjustified.

We have free speech in America 🇺🇸 until someone decides you only have SOME free speech.

Calling them migrants is bull shit!
They aren't migrants anymore than I'm Mr. Potato Head.

If you look up migrants, they are innocent people caught up in a country that isn't safe for people due to war. When the war in Ukraine they welcomed the migration of people to America. They were accepted and kept safe. That's the idea.

These people are fricken illegal aliens if I ever did see one (16 million).

Even Trump calls them that.

Biden calls them newcomers. Ha! That's a joke!

When a Fox News Channel guy was out interviewing illegals at the border and asked this one guy "What are you"? He replied "I'm one of those entitlement guys".
Maybe we should call them the entitlement people and make everyone agree.

The question should be that since Biden coddles the entitlement people and the American 🇺🇸 people don't get shit, oh yeah we do get shit, but that's beside the point - what should we call the us poor Americans who have been kicked to the curb and left for dead? The red headed step children of America? Nah, too offensive to people with red hair.

What would you call the Americans that don't get sheeeet?

[Chazmatazz269]

You have conflated “migrant” with ‘refugee’.

[sage2021]

You should get a lawyer and fight for your rights. This would be a big case. We need some like yourself to fight for us to keep our First Amendment Rights! It would set a precedent for all of America that we need to say what we want to without any repercussions, like what happened to you.
Where is this invisible line that we don't know when we've crossed it until someone get's offended by our chosen words we use.

Please, for all of our sake get a good lawyer and explain what happened to you.

[ApplePie409]

Why do people tolerate government schools? Joe Biden can't form a sentence, and yet he's the leader of the free world.

[lightbulb27]

they'll throw a kid out of school for asking a question using the word teacher provided but they won't throw the people here illegally out of the country. they are here illegally... they didn't go through the legal process... they ran the border... some of them.

that's total Bs and a poor solution. schools have a tough job though... they have to "tow the line". This started at the top.

[loveslongnails]

Just in case you're interested in data, here's some from factcheck. org, found in this article:
www.factcheck.org/.../
"Encounters on the southern border of those trying to enter the U. S. without authorization have gone up significantly under President Joe Biden. Government statistics show that in the initial processing of millions of encounters, 2.5 million people have been released into the U. S. and 2.8 million have been removed or expelled. Some Republicans, however, have misleadingly suggested the number released into the country since Biden took office is much higher."

Funny thing is Factcheck. org is funded by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, which is branded as leftist by the Capital Research Center, who does not list their funders or donators, but is obviously a right leaning organization. LOL You can't even get the fact checkers to come to a consensus. LOL

From reports, he was responding to his teacher's vocabulary question about the word "alien", and used two examples that are in common use. Evidently, a Hispanic student was offended by this, and the teacher and assistant principal took action to support the Hispanic student.

Totally unjustified punishment.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for MHO

[Avicenna]

Most school systems are run by leftists. And we all know how much leftists are interested in censorship and punishing what is supposed to be protected speech because it doesn't fit their totalitarian ideologies.

[lightbulb27]

maybe Mccarthy was onto something...

[Avicenna]

@lightbulb27: He was

[exitseven]

Unless the vice principal can produce a document that states that using the term illegal aliens IA an offense punishable by suspension he is violating that students first amendment rights. He was stating a fact.

It's funny how democrats have problems with facts. I wonder why that is?

[AviatorTom]

Did you see Joe Biden's video where he says "We believe in truth, not facts."

[Belgie]

Even if he used the term incorrectly, like so many do... so fucking what? HE'S IN SCHOOL. YOU TEACH HIM IF YOU WANT HIM TO KNOW BETTER.

For fuck sake, how's anyone supposed to learn a god damned thing if you start cancelling them, suspending them or expelling them every-time you hear something that offends your delicate sensibilities?

America: Guns, we're fine with. Alternate worldviews terrify us.

[Chazmatazz269]

If it’s a state run skool he has a strong case for a lawsuit. That’s a clear violation of the Constitution.

[DextroShade]

"Illegal alien" is a legitimate legal term, he only got suspended because he offended the woke shit leftards at the school. Everyone involved in his suspension should be fired and blacklisted from teaching ever again!

[TommyMountainFigure]

If he got suspended for that? I'd probably be expelled!

[bobby_bush_eater]

It's literally the term the US government uses. The school system is a propaganda machine and parents need to stop abdicating their children's education and upbringing to the government

[AngryCarl]

If accurate that's absurd. You don't suspend a kid for 3 days because you disagree with his use of terminology. Or now, apparently, you do.

Apparently the brainwashing didn't take on this kid.

[The_Sexpert]

So what happened to first ammendment?
Plus he wasn't talking about those at the border... so probably he doesn't even care about the border crisis

[Daniela1982]

Call them like you see them. His school must be one of those woken by Biden.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Freedom of speech is a constitutional right, and high school is funded by taxes. He can legally sue the school for infringing on his rights.

[Snakeyes7]

Punished for saying things as they really are. 1984 is truly being used as an instruction manual right now.

[FreyaRed]

Typical 1984 thought crime. Execute him to setup an example.

[patois]

His family should file a lawsuit against the school district for violating his constitutional rights and collect $10-20 million.

[patois]

When the school district can't afford copy paper the following year, heads will roll in elections.

[Guanfei]

They are illegal aliens. What else should they be called?

[Anonymous]

Liberalism has infested the education system and turned education into their vote breeding indoctrination tank

[zagor]

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, go into administration.

[FunkyMonkee]

The teacher (s) and/or principal need to be fired!!

[FunkyMonkee]

This is a fucking SCHOOL, NOT an indoctrination and brainwashing center!!

[JHAYES317]

Thoughts? Illegal immigrants are criminals and unless he was throwing out a false accusation, he was unjustly suspended

[Anonymous]

Illegal Alien is JUST as OK as Illegal Immigrant. Means the same thing

[Anonymous]

It's come down to politics. If it was a republican school they would have praised him. Anything else and school codes of conduct are enforced.

[BarryLiverstone]

Think according to the district handbook the students trolling was handled.

[FunkyMonkee]

WHAT trolling?

[BarryLiverstone]

He trolled in class by asking about people without green cards. Knowing it would piss off other students

[FunkyMonkee]

And, what they said and did didn't "troll" him?
Sorry but, your precious little feelings take a distant back seat to the welfare of the country!

[BarryLiverstone]

Right, he was the one that caused the interruption in the classroom. Did you read the student handbook?

[FunkyMonkee]

Yyyyyeeeeeah! K.

[Quigly]

Nobody is paying teachers to be Politicians.

[Anonymous]

They should have just simply corrected him. It's actually "Criminal Alien".

[strateguy632]

unjustified but he gets vacation reward.

[Iron_Man]

That’s absolutely ridiculous

[jahaims]

Would pull my kid out of that school

[gorydetails]

His parents need to sue the school board.

[Simslover92]

North Carolina... why am I not surprised? 🙄

[loveslongnails]

It's idiotic, and I'm not a conservative.

[DaBiggestBird]

Send a drone strike to his school district

[BarryLiverstone]

wtf. You just said to kill people

[strateguy632]

@BarryLiverstone no he didn't. who said the building was not empty?

[DaBiggestBird]

@strateguy632 Who said it was?
