This is an update to this case, that I asked in the form of a question a year ago:

• High School Student Is Suspended for Using The Term ‘Illegal Alien’ in English Class. Thoughts?

Good!! Serves the school right for attempting to curtail speech! When are these people gonna learn? Maybe even recognize that offensive speech is MOST in need of a forum & protection? Cowardly morons.

Nice!
Hopefully the kid in this clip gets a similar comeuppance.

AHHH GB news that bastion of truthful reporting and even mention "word play" within the presentation.

Notice how this guy gives off the same vibes as the one in the question.

[Shiprex]

@purplepoppy Yeah, almost like an ad campaign like good old capitalists seek when spreading propaganda/sales pitches

[purplepoppy]

Illegal alien was a common phrase back then so I suspect there's more to this than what's been claimed. I've a sneaky hunch he was constantly bring abusive, had lots of warnings, and then was suspended. The illegal alien bit was just a tiny part of the story and now he's playing the victim.

[Shiprex]

Yes this too sprung out that the "reports" showed snippets of what went on and the context was created that the RW narrators wanted to push their racist agenda

[Lliam]

Good! Fuck woke liberals and PC culture.
I don't even see what is offensive about the term illegal alien.

[Anonymous]

Good. I've heard similar stories for things like a t-shirt

[FunkyMonkee]

Good for him!! I guess I should say it more often!!

[noohair]

Illegal Alien is a current legal term to define people...

[genericname85]

Well at least they are making up for their far left extremist nonsense.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Are we heading back to the 1950s when racism was the normal? I am sure this kid was being a racist , I bet his parents are racist white supremacy.

It should have been a million dollars

[seeyounexttuesday]

The fine should be higher.

He deserves it. Speech is speech.
