Christian McGhee, 16, was suspended for three days last year\u2014 for using the term \u201cillegal alien\u201d during a vocabulary lesson. Now, according to recent court filings, he is getting exactly what he should\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p>The dummies on the Davidson County school board have now formally admitted that their \u2018racial bias\u2019 accusation was a \u2018mischaracterization.\u201d In other words, it was false, defamatory, and improper. They\u2019ve agreed to purge all disciplinary references from Christian\u2019s educational record. His real crime was saying something in English class that was factually accurate and legally defined.<\/p>\n<p>The school\u2019s overeducated administrators claimed the term illegal alien \u201ccaused a disturbance\u201d among classmates. In other words, hurt feelings. As a quick factual refresher: The term \u201cillegal alien\u201d appears in federal statutes, in Supreme Court opinions, and in multiple rulings from the Department of Justice over many decades.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, during the year-long lawsuit, a sitting board member publicly smeared Christian\u2019s mother, Leah McGhee. The board member sneeringly dragged up Leah\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The local fallout was electric. Local elections flipped and board members were swept out like the Florida tides. It turns out that parents don\u2019t like it much when schools rewrite the dictionary and gaslight witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019re done pretending that truth is hate speech. We\u2019re done letting institutions gaslight parents, smear students, and bury accountability under layers of DEI jargon and feelings-based discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to The Reckoning.\u2122<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great Story from J C Yesterday the Carolina Journal ran a very encouraging story headlined, \u201cStudent suspended for saying \u2018illegal alien\u2019 will receive public apology in new settlement.\u201d A long, absurd saga out of North Carolina has finally ended in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/?p=664266\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-664266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=664266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":664268,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664266\/revisions\/664268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=664266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=664266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=664266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
