Great Story from J C

Yesterday the Carolina Journal ran a very encouraging story headlined, “Student suspended for saying ‘illegal alien’ will receive public apology in new settlement.”

A long, absurd saga out of North Carolina has finally ended in crushing defeat for the speech police. Christian McGhee, 16, was suspended for three days last year— for using the term “illegal alien” during a vocabulary lesson. Now, according to recent court filings, he is getting exactly what he should’ve gotten from the beginning: a clean record, a public apology, and twenty grand to help cover his private school tuition after the public school system tried to cancel him.

The dummies on the Davidson County school board have now formally admitted that their ‘racial bias’ accusation was a ‘mischaracterization.” In other words, it was false, defamatory, and improper. They’ve agreed to purge all disciplinary references from Christian’s educational record. His real crime was saying something in English class that was factually accurate and legally defined.

The school’s overeducated administrators claimed the term illegal alien “caused a disturbance” among classmates. In other words, hurt feelings. As a quick factual refresher: The term “illegal alien” appears in federal statutes, in Supreme Court opinions, and in multiple rulings from the Department of Justice over many decades.

Ironically, during the year-long lawsuit, a sitting board member publicly smeared Christian’s mother, Leah McGhee. The board member sneeringly dragged up Leah’s decades-old recovery story in a grotesque attempt to silence her. But get this: That same arrogant board member was later forced to resign following a DWI crash. She quietly issued a private apology, though given the timing, one suspects she regrets the consequences more than her conduct.

The local fallout was electric. Local elections flipped and board members were swept out like the Florida tides. It turns out that parents don’t like it much when schools rewrite the dictionary and gaslight witnesses.

As Santa Ono ( the rejected woke university of Florida President Candidate ) and several freshly unemployed school board members have now learned the hard way, Americans are just about fed up with the woke nonsense. We’re done pretending that truth is hate speech. We’re done letting institutions gaslight parents, smear students, and bury accountability under layers of DEI jargon and feelings-based discipline.
