A North Carolina high school student has been suspended for using the phrase “illegal alien” in class.
Christian McGhee, 16, was suspended for three days from Central Davidson High School, after using the term during a classroom discussion about word meanings.
Christian questioned the term “alien” in an assignment, asking if it referred to ‘space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards,’ as reported by the Carolina Journal.
His comment reportedly offended another student who physically threatened McGhee, leading to the involvement of school authorities.
“I didn’t make a statement directed towards anyone — I asked a question,” Christian told the Carolina Journal.
