The Left’s Long War on Using ‘Illegal Aliens’
21st April 2024
We’re now apparently in the era where using the term “birthing person” makes you a thoughtful speaker and saying “illegal alien” gets you suspended—at least if you’re one North Carolina high schooler.
Last week, “in Davidson County, North Carolina, 16-year-old student Christian McGhee was suspended for three days for using the term ‘illegal alien’ in class when clarifying the word ‘alien’ in a vocabulary lesson,” writes Donna King, editor in chief of the Carolina Journal.
“A classmate reportedly threatened to fight Christian over his word choice, but both students and their teacher insisted the exchange was innocent, and the other student’s outrage was in jest,” adds King, who notes the absurdity of politically correct terms such as “birthing person” and “uterus owners” in her column about the incident.
